The Department

We aim to deliver a topical and dynamic curriculum, which links to the current global issues our young people face today. We aim to engage our pupils to ask questions about themes they see through the News and media such as; climate change, globalisation, changing landscape and natural hazards. We encourage our students to become critical thinkers and develop decision making skills to deal with such issues when they enter the world of today. We aim to embed the FCJ values through stewardship and respect world cultures as we show compassion for the environment and hope for a positive future.
