Outstanding Catholic school St Marks has joined London Citizens and so becomes part of the Citizen Schools Alliance. After myself and Austen, West London Citizens' lead organiser, had presented our work to the head teacher, senior leaders and chaplain, they took the idea of joining to The Catholic life of the school committee, who approved their membership.
This is great news - St Marks' is an impressive school with a community-focused ethos and strong commitment to Catholic social teaching. It means the school and its students, parents and staff will join many others across London in being able to access community leadership training, local networks to help take action to improve their community, and regional and London-wide events and assemblies - both school-focused and intergenerational, all focused on achieving citizen-led change for the common good.
We look forward to a strong relationship with everyone at St Marks - to help build on their impressive foundations and give students, parents and staff real experience citizenship in action.
