Global Citizenship

Global citizenship is embedded in the day-to-day life at SGS. This topic recognises the importance of young people’s involvement in their wider community; to make our planet more sustainable, peaceful and fair.

Across the school a number of initiatives have helped us work towards these aims. For example:

  • Senior members of the Eco-School committee regularly write to local MPs about environmental issues that are of concern to them
  • The Senior School regularly collects and donates unused and unwanted toiletries to a local charity called Bare Necessities. The charity distributes toiletries to pupils in Stockport and South Manchester schools that are experiencing hygiene poverty
  • In Spring 2024, Senior School pupils collected plastic bottle caps on behalf of the Plastic Shed based in Stockport. The bottle caps have been turned into a public artwork displayed in the Merseyway Shopping Centre
  • The Eco-School committee has distributed wild flower seed packets beyond the immediate school community by creating seed packets, made from recycled paper and leaving them at local libraries
  • The Senior School has a long-term working relationship with EducAid. The charity provides free, high-quality education to some of the most underprivileged children in Sierra Leone. Pupils at SGS fundraise three times a year for the charity.
