From the Author
Professor Sir Bernard Crick endorsed the book: 'Here at last is a book that shows a deep, thorough and comprehensive grasp of the aims and methods of the new Citizenship order. John Potter's advocacy of a 'whole school strategy' is both subtle and sensible and the suggestions for implementation achieve the right balance and blend of skills, knowledge and values.'
