What is it about?

The Citizen Schools Alliance addresses the challenges facing London’s schools by enabling teachers, parents and young people to work collaboratively for change and the common good as active and responsible citizens. It has 3 core aims:

1. Transform the culture of schools by building and developing trust and active governance between all adults and students - working through the curriculum, whole-school culture and community of the school.

2. Engage with key community issues that affect what goes on in the classroom (for example living conditions, environmental conditions, safety, recognition and stereotyping).

3. Train and support school members (teachers, senior staff, students and parents/carers) to take action together for change, in order to achieve goals 1 and 2.
