Citizenship
Developing Global Citizens of the 21st Century: As part of Hilbre High School’s over-arching goal to make our students global citizens of the 21st Century, our aim is to specifically develop our students’ social and moral responsibility, political literacy and community involvement. We do this by not only teaching them in the traditional sense about symbols and structures of life and our democratic system, but also by developing their skills of debating, listening, thinking, research and leadership.
KEY STAGE 3

Autumn Term

Government and Democracy Students will examine and begin to develop an appreciation of the concept of a democratic society, the roles of local and national government, and the role citizens can take with the political system in the UK. |

Spring Term and Summer Term
|
Hilbre Active Citizenship Award Students will explore creative ways to take action on problems and issues in order to achieve a change in society’s attitudes and behaviour. They will examine how and why people take action, and develop research skills to help them undertake their own campaign. They will work individually and with others to negotiate, plan and take action on a citizenship issue, using time and resources appropriately. They will analyse the impact of their actions and reflect upon the progress made, evaluating what they have learnt, what went well, the difficulties encountered and what they would do differently. |
