At New Ford academy we have a team of playground leaders and playground trainees. The playground leaders have been involved in on the job intensive training and have been promoted to leaders who are training our new trainees.  Our playground leaders are easily identifiable by their red baseball caps.

At break times and lunch times the playground leaders and trainees are each in charge of their own zone on the playground. They set up the equipment for their zone and facilitate games for others such as; refereeing games, parachute games, classic playground games such as stuck in the mud, colouring in, chalks etc.
