On this page we intend to list helpful websites as we discover them. Below you will find a list of key sources of information about Citizenship. On the right we are highlighting one site which a practising teacher has reviewed for us.

Citizen X
The BBC has set up a new citizenship website called Citizen X, for 11 - 13 year olds. It contains animations, activities, photostories, facts and figures, message boards and expert Live Chats to help teachers and students get to grips with the new Citizenship Curriculum.
