Spittal Primary School: pupil councils and supported study programmes
| Project name | Pupil councils and supported study programmes |
| School/centre | Spittal Primary School, South Lanarkshire |
| Age range | P1-P7 |
| Citizenship contexts | cross-curricular, community links, curricular areas, young people's participation |
| Summary | Spittal Primary School has an Education for Citizenship course for all primary pupils. The course is free-standing and is offered in supported study time over a period of three to four months. However, it does not stand in isolation from other aspects of school life, having grown out of the positive, inclusive ethos for which the school is known. Children at Spittal Primary are given real responsibilities that are carefully planned to increase as children grow older and more familiar with school routines and expectations. This case study details the special responsibilities of Spittal's pupil council and its career education programme as well as its new course on citizenship, which has a clear social and political focus. |
