Citizenship
Citizenship is a subject that gives students the ideal opportunity to express their views and opinions on current political, moral and ethical issues that concern all of us today. Students obtain the opportunity:
- To explore the way governments are set up both in the UK and Internationally;
- Students also develop their understanding of the British Judicial system and how it may affect them as young people within a modern society.
- The Criminal Justice System
- Students also investigate the media and the way in which it operates especially newsprint; radio and television broadcasts and the internet.
The classroom environment encourages debate and discussion so that students begin to form their own opinions based on information they have collected themselves. Students start to gain research skills and develop their awareness of the world around them.
Students will have the opportunity to help within the local community and set up a project that complements their themes of study. This experience will give our students the necessary skills to become productive, respectful and active citizens that value their communities.
Citizenship is a subject that benefits all students and complements other subjects within Human Spirit such as History, Geography and RS.
