Departmental Information
What is Citizenship?
Do you know who makes the decisions that affect your life? Do you want to speak out about what goes on around you? Do you have opinions and views about your school, community or the world?
Citizenship answers all these questions and more. Citizenship gives you the knowledge, skills and confidence to speak out and make a difference. Citizenship gives you power!
Citizenship is about:
• being involved and having a say in what’s going on.
• joining in with other people to change things for the better.
• knowing, understanding and standing up for your rights.
• respecting the rights of others too.
• taking responsibility for your own life and learning.
• learning about our world, our place in it and how our
• lifestyles affect the lives of others.
• allowing everyone to join in discussion and debate.
• asking good questions and spotting bad answers.
• investigation, discovery and solving mysteries.
In the Coombe Ctizenship department we challenge our pupils to challenge the world around them. We ensure our pupils have infinite opportunities and skills to "Actively"particpate in the world around them. Ultimately, we want our informed, empowered and motivated "Young Citizens" to change the world around them for the better.
