CITIZENSHIP IS A SCHEME WHERE ALL PUPILS IN KS2 ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES (SOME ACTIVITIES DO INCLUDE KS1 CHILDREN). THESE ACTIVITIES ARE ALL LINKED TO A CITIZENSHIP PASSPORT. WHEN THE CHILDREN HAVE COMPLETED AN ACTIVITY FOR 4 WEEKS THEY GET THEIR PASSPORT SIGNED AND STAMPED. THE CHILDREN ALSO HAVE TO OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE A BADGE RELATING TO THE ACTIVITY TO WHICH THEY HAVE COMPLETED.

INCLUDED IN THE PASSPORT ARE ALL THE ACTIVITIES THE CHILDREN CAN PARTICIPATE IN. BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE PASSPORT.
