Citizenship
To encourage parents to support their children to become responsible citizens and make a contribution to society.
We devised a school award based on the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme with three strands personal development, service to the school and service to the wider community, all recorded in a log book. The children (Y6) were divided into groups, each group headed by a parent mentor. They agreed targets in each of the areas and the mentor monitored the children's progress towards the award. Regular meetings and review helped keep everyone on track and awards were made with great celebration at the end of the school year.
Although a few children fell by the wayside, most kept going throughout the year and parents were delighted with the 'service to home' aspect which meant a commitment to take on a job (or a few jobs) in the home and do them regularly either each day or several times a week. This meant that children really were making a contribution to home life. This scheme has become a feature of our school.
The parents work alongside their children to help them achieve the targets in their log books. The children who take part become more mature and responsible as a result of undertaking some regular responsibility. Some who regularly visit an old people's home to read or play cards have the satisfaction of receiving lovely letters of gratitude from the residents.
