Citizenship
Back to Subjects MenuWHAT IS THE INTENT OF THE CITIZENSHIP CURRICULUM?
The intent of our Citizenship curriculum is to encourage students to take a critical and thorough approach to learning about democracy, government, British values and how to be an active participant in our modern British society.
Students gain a deeper knowledge of democracy, government and law, and develop skills to create sustained and reasoned arguments, present various viewpoints and plan practical citizenship actions to benefit society. They will also gain the ability to recognise bias, critically evaluate argument, weigh evidence and look for alternative interpretations and sources of evidence, all of which are essential skills valued by higher education and employers.
The AQA GCSE in Citizenship helps our students discover how young people can be active citizens and advocates in their local, national and global community.
The key themes in our curriculum are:
- Life in modern Britain
- Rights and responsibilities
- Politics and participation
- Taking citizenship action
