Citizenship Education is set to become compulsory in primary schools from 2027.
Primary schools will be expected to deliver learning that helps pupils understand their role in society, develop critical thinking skills, make informed decisions, and engage with some of the biggest challenges facing our world.
But why wait until 2027?
At Rethink Food, we’ve just made it easier than ever for schools to get ahead. We’ve moved our entire Agents of Change programme onto the Rethink Food website, making it free, accessible and ready to use today.
What is the Agents of Change?
The Agents of Change is a fully funded programme designed to help children explore:
🌍 Climate and sustainability
🥗 Healthy lifestyles and food choices
💚 Physical and mental wellbeing
🤝 Social responsibility and positive action
Through engaging films, classroom activities, teacher guidance, quizzes and resources, pupils learn how their everyday choices can impact their health, their communities and the planet.
Perfect Preparation for Citizenship Education
One of the proposed areas within the new Citizenship curriculum is: Climate & Sustainability: Understanding the human impact on the environment and the actions we can take to create positive change.
This is an area that Agents of Change already covers in depth.
More importantly, pupils don’t just learn about responsible citizenship, they develop the skills needed to become active citizens.
Everything is available online and can be delivered at a pace that works for your school…the future curriculum is coming, and your pupils can start becoming Agents of Change today.
Together, we’re helping young people think bigger, act smarter and create a healthier, more sustainable future for all.
