The no. of students sitting #GCSECitizenshipStudies in 2025 has risen compared to 2024, but remains less than a quarter of the avg. entries seen before 2010. With #Votesat16 on the way, it’s time to #MakeSpaceforCitizenship in every school: ow.ly/UTbv50WJwPM #GCSEResultsDay

Nothing better than visiting the brilliant staff of Westminster Academy to see how they support each other to support pupil learning. A pleasure to visit and discuss developments of high quality learning opportunities with @uclalumni.bsky.social staff & how to #MakeSpaceforCitizenship in curricula!

We had a great first conversation about a new primary Citizenship programme of study today with a fab group - curriculum reviews can be a lot of work but on the positive side they galvanise people to talk about important education matters 😊 #makespaceforcitizenship
