Global Learning

This course helps Year 7 students develop learning, debating and creative-thinking skills as they address world issues.

Global Learning sessions bring globalisation and climate change into the classroom, ultimately empowering students to look at issues in ways that mathematicians, scientists, engineers and other creative thinkers do, to find solutions. We work in collaboration with Achimota School in Ghana, our link school.

In ‘Power, rights and participation’ we consider how the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be tackled and how these are prioritised differently by different people. We focus on why young people should have the right to participate in decision-making.

We will consider questions like, ‘What’s globalisation got to do with me?’, challenging stereotypes and misconceptions and considering how we know the difference between fact and opinion.

Global Learning forms part of the content of our PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic) curriculum.
