“Citizenship Education is the education for citizenship, behaving and acting as a citizen;
therefore it is not just the knowledge of citizenship and civil society. It also implies developing
values and understanding’. (Crick Report 1998)
The aim of the programme is that it will challenge and enable our pupils to examine their
attitudes and values towards a range of subject areas relevant to their development. It is hoped
with increased knowledge and developed skills they will become informed, active and tolerant
members of the local community. As well as appreciating their own needs as they grow up in the
twenty first century, they will also appreciate the needs and view of others.
Pupils need to recognise and celebrate diversity, and to foster tolerance, understanding,
empathy and cooperation.
