Blue Coat celebrates Gold Award for global citizenship

Blue Coat Church of England School and Music College is proud to have achieved Gold Award status in Christian Aid’s Global Neighbours programme.

The award recognises the school’s commitment to global citizenship, courageous advocacy and social justice, with students and staff taking part in a wide range of initiatives that encourage reflection, action and care for others around the world.

From Interfaith Week and Refugee Week to Human Rights Day and an innovative partnership with a school in India, students have explored important global issues and considered how they can play their part in creating a fairer world.

The Christian Aid Global Neighbours accreditation programme celebrates schools that help pupils learn about global poverty, understand the Christian responsibility to tackle it and develop the confidence to make a positive difference.

This recognition reflects the dedication of the whole school community and the school’s ongoing commitment to helping students grow as responsible global citizens.

Congratulations to everyone involved in achieving this fantastic award.
