Citizenship
Ms Naomi Richards - Citizenship and PSHEE coordinator
Citizenship education gives students the knowledge, skills and understanding to play an effective role in society at local, national and international levels. It helps students become informed, thoughtful and responsible citizens who are aware of their duties and rights. Citizenship encourages respect for different national, religious and ethnic identities and aims to develop the ability of students to reflect on issues and take part in discussions.
