We have raised
the profile of EfC across the school for staff and pupils
through meetings, assemblies and a variety of other
approaches |
|
|
We
have changed our Pupil Council set up due to feedback
from pupils and now consult annually with pupils on
the School Improvement Plan. Members of the S6 Steering
Committee meet with SMT four times during the year
to discuss Council minutes and prioritise action points |
|
|
We
continue to involve the Community in the running of
the school and aim to make our School- Community links
stronger |
|
|
We
encourage our students to get involved in local decision
making within the community. We have many students
on Community Councils, we have one pupil elected to
the Scottish Youth Parliament and have taken part
in the recently launched “I’m a Councillor” project |
|
We are heavily involved
in the Eco School project and are moving towards the
Silver Standard award |
|
We have an extremely
strong Enterprise in Education core group set up in
the school in which Citizenship and its development
plays an extremely active role. Enterprise Education
is recognized throughout the Region and Nationally as
being integrated extremely well into the daily lives
of pupils at Lockerbie Academy and Citizenship education
has worked in cooperation with this |
| |
Lockerbie Academy has
adapted its PSE materials in recent years to meet the
new demands of a fast changing world with new challenges
and there is an increasing awareness of the importance
of effective Personal and Social development |
| |
We involve students in
agreeing classroom codes for behaviour/learning and
teaching |
|
We do give a great deal
of choice to pupils to make decisions within lessons
and certain units of work |
|
Many senior pupils have
influence on a number of whole school committees allowing
them a direct say in important school decisions |
|
There are a variety of
top quality assemblies presented by both staff and pupils
focusing on a wide variety of school, local, national
and global issues |
|
There are many pupil
led activities within the school such as organizing
Charity events and awareness raising days |
| |
Participation by a wide
range of pupils in important working groups such as
the new school build |
Action Plan (2008 - 2011)
We need to use the working document as a
tool to ensure all staff are aware of their responsibilities
in relation to the delivery of EfC. The delivery of
Citizenship is an ongoing and dynamic process and
as such a regular review of its delivery must take
place.
|
|
Publicize
the new CfE policy by a number of high profile events
within the school and wider community eg with a noticeboard
in the local supermarket and litter campaigns in the
local towns and villages |
| |
Ensure all staff when
developing new CfE courses are integrating responsible
citizenship at the core of their learning. All faculties
must be aware of the importance of this as we move into
a new area of detailed curricular innovation |
| |
Further raise understanding
of critical thinking and active learning and ensure
that staff aim to develop these areas within their core
teaching. We recognize further and adopt as necessary
these techniques to enhance the teaching and learning
process |
|
Be more confident that
when a student is not studying a Humanities subject
post choice that they are still opportunities to learn
about many areas of Citizenship through other providers/agencies
within the school |
|
Continue to build on
our strengths in International Education/Global Citizenship
through new areas such as the South African link school |
| |
Continue to raise the
profile of Eco School and move towards the Green Flag
award |
|
Be positive and explore
and carry out a number of cross curricular projects/themes
within the new curricular changes planned |
|
Ensure that cross cutting
themes such as Sustainability, Creativity, Enterprise
and Healthy Living integrate with ideas about Citizenship
and dovetail positively within the curricular changes
in a more structured way |
| |
Ensure pupils are more
aware of the term citizenship and most can use the term
accurately in describing their achievements and progress
within the school community |
|
Recognise that progression
must be inbuilt and that pupils should experience key
ideas throughout school life |
| |
Ensure that the PPP School
Committee has staff and pupils represented on it and
that they feel their views are listened to and that
information is communicated to all interested parties |
|
The CfE Committee ensure
that in their discussions over the next few years the
delivery of effective citizenship is integral in their
work |
|
In relation to the local
community continue to build on our already positive
links especially in relation to the new school build |
|
Further advance links
with parents through the newly created Parental Forums
and Information Evenings |
|
Attempt to engage with
our various communities based around the school on a
more structured basis retaining the Academy at the centre
of all that is inclusive. Feedback on the role of the
school must be sought in a variety of new ways and we
must listen and act upon the feedback provided
