Thomas Tallis joins Citizen Schools!

Thomas Tallis school, Greenwich, has become the latest school (and third from south London) to take a place on the Pathway 2009-2010: our intensive, 1-year programme to help schools build leadership, capacity and sustainability for active, community-focused citizenship education. Head of Wellbeing Michelle Springer and I met this afternoon at the school, and our partnership for the year ahead then sewn up by the head teacher's all-clear.

I'm really please Thomas Tallis are involved - a forward-thinking school with lots of exciting intiatives, a strong sense of community and student voice, and a growing and extremely dedicated specialist Citizenship and Wellbeing teaching team. Here's to some really exciting collaboration in the year to come.

Thomas Tallis joins a rich mix of secondary schools and sixth form colleges embarking on the Pathway, including Central Foundation, St Angelas & St Bonaventures, Little Ilford, Barking Abbey, Prendergast Ladywell Fields College, Cardinal Wiseman, and Hackney Free & Parochial School. Each school involved becomes an automatic member of the Alliance - and so becomes part of a huge community-led movement for action, change and social justice.
