Kingsbury's Citizen Schools leaders prepare for action!

On Friday the brilliant Citizen Schools team from Kingsbury High School came together for two hours of special training to take their ideas for community change to the next level.

Ben came into the school to help students sharpen their ideas - centred around an Expression Board (a space for students to get creative in, in a positive way), and a SundayFunday (the opportunity for young people to find out about the youth services on offer in the area), and a multicultural day (to celebrate the diversity of Brent).

Students went through an intensive Dragon's Den-style challenge, and then focused their efforts on finding those community allies who can help them make their ideas a reality - youth clubs, local community groups and council employees. With their next steps clearly identified, this is one Citizen Schools group who are going places! Well done to Head of Citizenship Joanne Robinson and Citizenship Teacher Thomas Owoo for supporting students' excellent progress!
