Children at Craven are growing up in a city that has particulary high levels of deprivation, crime rates, and high mortality rates.
As they grow older they are more and more exposed to these risks, and they can be directly or indirectly affected by them.
By focussing one of our curriculum areas into developing responsible, respectful citizens, we aim to give children the knowledge and experience that will develop law abiding citizens, who have a sense of right and wrong, and who can make sensible informed choices to keep themselves healthy both physically and mentally.
