A CASE STUDY Kevin Walker, QECC, July 2009.

The philosophers (historians, geographers, sociologists, economists etc) have only interpreted the world in various ways: the point is to change it. With apologies to Karl Marx CITIZENSHIP – the knowledge and skills to be able to effect change.

Citizenship – a whole school approach At QE Citizenship is about - The application of the Skills For Success – including “Political Awareness”. Involvement of students in the community, locally, nationally, globally Involvement of the community in the life of the school. It is not another subject, nor the responsibility of one department,

Citizenship – a whole school approach Provision at QE: KS3 – One timetabled hour/week with non-specialist teacher - usually from humanities but could be anyone with interest / qualification. Plus off timetable days linking with integrated curriculum themes (eg: Environment Day & Planet Earth theme). KS4 - Two timetabled hours/week with humanities teacher – leading to Integrated Humanities GCSE or new Citizenship GCSE as suitable staff become available. KS5 – Extension Activities Programme with Active Citizenship emphasis plus Extended Project leading to AQAbacc qualification.

CITIZENSHIP AT KS5 We have an established programme of enrichment activities, This involves many community based activities. We offer CRITICAL THINKING at AS and will offer AS in CITIZENSHIP STUDIES (staffing permitting) which includes exam questions on students participation in Active Citizenship projects. We have been part of the national pilot of the Extended Project Qualification which is now becoming available for all our Y13 students. This can be independent learning arising from activities or work experience.
