St. Charles' Primary & LCR is proud to be one of more than 2,000 schools across 35 countries to have adopted the Leader in Me process. 
 

The Leader in Me delivers the principles of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. This is based on the research and findings of Dr Stephen Covey.

By teaching the children how their habits and mindset can affect their learning and behaviour we give them a set of amazing tools for life. Leader in Me is a whole-school transformation model.  As a Leader in Me school, pupils, families, and staff learn how to be responsible, show initiative, be creative, set goals and meet them, get along with people of various backgrounds and cultures, resolve conflicts and solve problems. 

 Dr. Covey, the author of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, defines leadership as “communicating a person’s worth and potential so clearly that they are inspired to see it in themselves.”  As a Leader in Me school, everyone learns how to apply the 7 Habits to their personal and academic/professional lives.  Leadership roles and events take place for our entire school community, including our Pupil Leadership Group meetings, assemblies and our annual Leadership Day.  Together, we recognise and celebrate the greatness of each child and provide pupils with multiple opportunities to develop their full potential. 

Leadership is not for a few but for everyone.  Leadership is not a position.  It is action - the actions we take every day.  Let’s be leaders together and inspire change in our communities.  Our hope is that each of you will join us on this journey of greatness!

Core Paradigms

The Leader in Me paradigm sees that every child is capable, every child is a leader. This paradigm changes everything. The children are introduced to 5 core paradigms: 

See-Do-Get Cycle 

Leader in Me is based on a theory of change known as the See-Do-Get Cycle.  When you change the way you See things, it influences what you Do and the results you Get.
