Citizenship is about helping pupils to become informed and responsible citizens with the knowledge and skills to play an
effective role in society.
Knowledge of Citizenship has to be developed and exercised thorough enquiry and communication, and participation in the school
community. Citizenship is statutory at Key Stages 3 and 4.
The things you will learn in Citizenship help you to:
- become informed;
- express your views;
- find out how your community is organised and what you can do to influence how it works;
- recognise there are different communities at local, regional, national and international levels; and
- appreciate the importance of looking after the environment.
