Secondary Citizenship Curriculum

Citizenship Curriculum

Vision

Our vision for Citizenship is about empowering pupils becoming better people and making a difference to their community on a local, national and global scale.

Our aim is to ensure that curriculum choice in this subject matches their mainstream counterparts. It is vital that our engagement in the classroom not only covers the core components of the syllabus but also helps build contextual layers from a foundation level for our learners whose own experiences have significant gaps.

In addition, a further aim is to broaden their knowledge of the society they live in whilst encouraging them to have the confidence to challenge viewpoints and the narrative of their own environment. Pupils will learn and care about the society and community they live in, embrace its values, and own the responsibilities that come with their rights.

Being an active citizen means they will know about the power of democracy and their voice, to know about the nature of justice in the UK and believe in championing equality and diversity.
