Sir Keith Ajegbo endorses Citizen Schools

Sir Keith Ajegbo has recently lent his support to the Citizen Schools pathway - a 1-year applied development programme which aims to embed active citizenship across the whole school, using a method inspired by community organising.

"I wholeheartedly support the Citizen Schools pathway - a great way for schools to connect to their communities and bring learning alive through Citizenship education. It's a targeted, strategic approach to build leadership, focus and momentum around educating active, responsible citizens, and promoting community cohesion, student voice, community engagement and inclusion."

"The development programme brings together schools across London to enliven teaching and learning in citizenship and across the whole school by engaging their communities. It's innovative - students, parents and governors are trained alongside senior leaders and teaching staff - and it provides a clear pathway towards becoming an inclusive, citizenship-rich school where participation, responsibility and governance are shared across the whole community."
