The Women into Leadership Programme was born out of a desire to remove as many barriers as we can for our future female leaders, ensuring they are equipped with the tools to follow their chosen paths in life.
We recognise that the world beyond The Sixth Form can present significant challenges for women. There remains a cultural legacy of male-dominated spaces within leadership, a reality we hope to change over time with our support and encouragement. Our programme is designed to empower young women, providing them with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate and transform these environments.
• Programme Launch Session, Introduction to Leadership - We kick off the programme with an engaging session that sets the stage for the year ahead, providing an overview of leadership principles and the goals of the programme.
• Women in Tech Event - In collaboration with Microsoft, Hewlett Packard and the BBC to promote getting more women into digital roles. • International Womens Day Luncheon - celebrating inspiring women and networking event.
• Army Workshop - workshop led by the Army will provide students with hands-on leadership training. This opportunity will challenge students to apply leadership skills in various scenarios, promoting teamwork, problem solving, and strategic thinking.

“The Writing and Leadership workshop with Noor Iman influenced me greatly as it gave me the inspiration and hope to work on my own writing and not give up. I have learnt that leadership is a skill that can constantly be improved, and I can wholeheartedly and truthfully say that being a part of this programme has been truly beneficial for me and extremely rewarding.”

“Being a part of the Prosper Leadership Programme has helped massively in different parts of my life. As a young lad growing up in this generation, there is a lot of pressure on my shoulders but the Prosper Programme has created a place for me to talk to people and get an idea of other people’s experiences as well as learning and gaining a lot of key skills such as public speaking. I really enjoyed meeting Sky Sports presenter Kyle Walker and nutritionist, Phil Pukiello, as it was eye opening and gave me a few insights into various different lifestyle, as well as giving me tips and inspiration on how to better myself as a young man.”
