Citizenship at key stage 3 (Year 7-9)
Unit 14: Developing skills of democratic participation
In this unit, pupils work together to develop a democratic group decision-making process. They evaluate the existing mechanisms for pupil involvement within the organisation of the school/college, eg class/student councils, and discuss whether/how these bodies interact with school and wider communities. Pupils explore democratic processes and systems, the qualities of leadership and responsibility, and how to ensure representation for diverse groups within society.

2. How can meetings be made more effective?
3. How am I represented in my school?
