A global citizen is someone who understands that they are part of a wider world community and recognises that their actions can have an impact on others, both locally and globally. Global citizens are aware of important issues such as sustainability, equality, human rights, poverty and environmental responsibility and they are motivated to make a positive difference.

At North Cadbury CofE Primary School, being a global citizen means helping each other to:

• Understand and respect different cultures, beliefs and perspectives.
• Recognise that everyone deserves fair treatment, dignity and opportunity.
• Take responsibility for caring for the environment.
• Show compassion and empathy towards others, both within their community and around the world.
• Speak up about issues they care about and take action to bring about positive change.
• Develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to contribute to a better future.

Developing Global Citizens

At North Cadbury, we are committed to developing responsible global citizens who understand their place in an interconnected world. Through our curriculum, collective worship, fundraising, courageous advocacy projects and enrichment opportunities, pupils learn to value diversity, respect different perspectives and appreciate their responsibilities towards others and the environment. We encourage children to think beyond themselves, to act with compassion and integrity and to become positive agents of change within their local community and the wider world.
