Citizenship education aims to provide opportunities for young people to develop the expertise and experience needed to use their rights, understand and put into practise their responsibilities and have an influence on what goes on in their communities, preparing them for the challenges and opportunities of adult and working life.
Students also learn the skills of active citizenship through practical opportunities to address issues of concern to them. Students are able to be inquisitive, active citizens who ask questions about the world they live in and have a fundamental understanding of core British values.
