Citizenship Awards
The Trades House of Glasgow aims to recognise the excellent work being undertaken by schools in, for and with their communities.
The Citizenship Award is open to all schools - pre-5, primary, secondary and special needs.
"Being involved in the Citizenship awards really helps the children to have a voice and say within the running of the school. It’s helps staff and children to work together for a better future, giving children vital skills in reasoning, justifying and forming their own opinions on various matters. The fact that all of this is recognised through the citizenship award and the Trades House helps all of the school community (staff, parents and children) to understand the importance of developing these skills for everyone’s future."
