GCSE Citizenship Studies has the power to motivate and enable young people to become thoughtful, active citizens.
Students gain a deeper knowledge of democracy, government and law, and develop skills to create sustained and reasoned arguments, present various viewpoints and plan practical citizenship actions to benefit society.
