This week Year 11 pupils have been carrying out their Citizenship Action coursework. The pupils have spent the last half term carrying out research into an issue that is linked to their studies including democracy, youth justice, disinformation and food banks. Pupils have delivered assemblies and lessons to younger pupils in KS2 and KS3 and the sessions went very successfully with one more group due to complete their action next week. Well done everyone!
