The WYLA Way
WYLA is a supplementary school with a strong mentoring component. We provide a tailored leadership programme for young Black and Black dual heritage children between the ages of 8-16 years old.
Our Programme: Every Saturday,
10am - 1pm (Term Time)
Here are some of the topics and subject matters that we cover during term time:
Our 5 Core Components
The Academy seeks to fulfil its vision through 5 core components and other means:
Saturday Academy
Leadership development is honed and nurtured through the Saturday Academy.
The Young Leaders meet from 10am to 1pm for training in leadership, social skills, public speaking and business acumen skills, which are required for effective leadership.
Holiday Programme
The Holiday Academy exists to consolidate and build on the leadership training that takes place during the Saturday Academy.
The curriculum includes and is not limited to:
- Team-building
- Educational visits, and
- Fiscal management.
Mentoring Plus
The Academy has access to an incredible pool of professionals to encourage and stimulate the children. Our guest speakers have expertise across multiple disciplines.
The boys and girls have regular opportunities to interact with special guests, local and national leaders and others of public interest.
Service to the Community
The Academy promotes civic responsibility and moral leadership by involving the children in community service projects.
Examples include working in residential homes for the elderly, gardening and supporting others.
Parents' University
The Family Support Network affords parents/carers the opportunity to maximise their participation in WYLA.
There are ‘Family Meetings’ each month and parents/carers are expected to attend as part of the contractual agreement upon joining The Academy.
Inspiration, Motivation & Empowerment!
We really cherish our Mentoring Plus component, and we thank all of our fantastic Guest Speakers and Guest Facilitators, who impart their knowledge and wisdom, and give their time to help us to show our Young Leaders exactly
what is possible for them, now and in the future!
