President for a Day Experience

Based upon the bestselling educational computer game, President for a Day, this interactive school conference follow the recommendations of the UK report on Citizenship for 16 to 19 year olds, meet criteria for the KS4 Citizenship Curriculum and contribute to both RE and Citizenship GCSE requirements.

'It was wonderful to see them considering world issues and enthusiastically participating in the discussions.'

'The response of the students has been brilliant. They have even set up a little group to address some of the follow up points themselves - choosing a charity and raising some money. The conference was everything we needed and highly enjoyable for staff and students.'

K Pratt - Head of RE, Harrogate Granby High School
