Global Citizenship develops students' political knowledge, skills and understanding to prepare them to play a full and active part in a society. Through an interleaving of Citizenship and PSHE curricula it teaches our students about the world around them and themselves whilst activating critical thinking. Through project work at both KS3 and KS4 it fosters a sense of responsibility towards local, national and global communities and empowers students to affect positive change.

In Y10-11, we follow the AQA GCSE Citizenship Studies specification.

Have a look at the Global Citizenship Curriculum Booklet for further details of topics and lessons.
