Impact
“an opportunity for our children to shine… and have a voice.”
James Wilkie, Year 6 Teacher, Goffs Oak Primary School
“When you’re trying to organise something on a large scale, it’s incredibly important to have a company you can rely on.”
Alex Curtis, Head of Extra-Curricular, The Cottesloe School
“Our event was very well-paced, building in opportunities for reflection and consolidation that were authentic and meaningful.”
“The team-building activities were fantastic ice-breakers, helping everyone work together in a fun and active way. A real, and perhaps unexpected, triumph of the day was how successful the debating and ethics activities were; it was really rewarding to see how many pupils genuinely enjoyed and actively engaged in activities that were completely new to them. As a result, we saw a significant leap in developing higher-level thinking skills, confidence and collaborative working.
All of the Hidden Leaders’ facilitators were both professional and respectful at all times — they are experts in their field, which makes a tremendous difference to the quality of the provision on offer. I can’t recommend Hidden Leaders enough!”
Mercedes Davis, Head of Sixth Form, Tunbridge Wells Girls Grammar School
Before the day… some staff were had trepidation about working with colleagues outside of their usual class groups, and from a senior leadership point, worries were; would staff engage with the day positively, would the day have the intended outcome for strengthened relationships.
After the day… staff were exceptionally positive about the whole day - there was energy uplift, appreciation for skills and strengths not normally seen and team cohesiveness. It had the desired outcome of bringing the staff team together for the last long half term of the year, many staff commented on how the INSET had given them a new energy for the last part of the academic year.
Hidden Leaders were all very professional, friendly and knowledgeable, this greatly helped to relieve any anxieties and put people at ease to then fully enjoy the day.
We have already raved about the Hidden Leaders Team Building Day to our network of partner schools. Our staff have asked to make this an annual INSET Day!!!
Natalie Stevens, Head of School, Mountfield Heath School
“When we booked the Hidden Leaders day, we knew our children would engage with the activities on offer, but what we had not considered was the range of other skills they would develop and enhance.”
Watching the children “grow” throughout the day was incredible. The range of activities ensured that all our children were engaged, regardless of physical or mental ability. Stepping out of comfort zones was huge for some of our class but the way the activities were arranged and delivered ensured success for all. Our loudest, more confident listened, whilst our less confident and more reserved spoke. It was marvellous to see this beyond the classroom setting and with limited adult input. The task ensured that there were opportunities for all to shine.
“One of our quieter children, who does not like to speak out in the classroom, was able to display his independent skills and work as part of a team. He had the opportunity to shine in a way that he was comfortable with and this was a huge boost to his self-confidence.”
Alex, Tom and their team were absolutely brilliant with our children. Their enthusiasm, encouragement and supportive manner ensured a marvellous opportunity for us all.
Thank you so much!

“I felt very confident with your team from the moment they came through the door.”
