Citizenship - what's it all about?

This six-lesson Year 7 scheme of work introduces learners to the foundations of citizenship and why participation in society matters. Learners develop an understanding of citizenship, social change, rights and responsibilities, rules and laws, fairness and democracy. They consider the knowledge and skills needed to become active citizens and explore practical ways to make a positive difference within their school community.
The scheme supports learners to develop the knowledge, confidence and skills needed to become informed, responsible and active citizens.
