Hounslow<br />
Citizen Scheme<br />
After a gap year last<br />
year, the Hounslow’s<br />
Citizen Scheme returned<br />
to <strong>Cranford</strong>. Formerly<br />
known as the Junior<br />
Citizen scheme, Hounslow<br />
Citizen saw nearly 3,000<br />
Year 6 children from<br />
thirty-four Hounslow’s<br />
primary schools come to<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> for the day over<br />
a two-week period in June.<br />
The programme aims to<br />
help young people make<br />
the right choices and the<br />
theme is ‘Think Smart’.<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> commissioned a<br />
song on the chosen theme from the Heston West Big Local music<br />
workshop which was written and performed by young people from<br />
the local area. A video was made which together with the lyrics was<br />
sent to all the primary schools with a request to learn the song by<br />
heart. Every day at the end of lunch, the children sang that song<br />
together in the <strong>Cranford</strong> SuperDome.<br />
This<br />
Summer, Creative<br />
Spaces London<br />
teamed up with Heston West Big<br />
Local, <strong>Cranford</strong> Music School<br />
and Heifer Productions to deliver<br />
5 weeks of Creative and Well<br />
Being activities.<br />
With the help of <strong>Cranford</strong><br />
Community College and<br />
Hounslow Council we were<br />
able to offer over 1000 places<br />
to children and young people<br />
plus many more opportunities<br />
Summer<br />
School<br />
<strong>2019</strong><br />
The Hounslow Citizen’s Scheme is a joint initiative between<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> Community College, the Met Police, London Borough of<br />
Hounslow and Hounslow Highways. A typical day is divided up into<br />
12 workshop sessions run by the Met Police, Fire Brigade, Hounslow<br />
Highways, Brentford FC Community Trust and the RNLI. The focus<br />
this year was on knife crime and the dangers of carrying knives. The<br />
Met Police and LBH commissioned the Heston West Big Local Film<br />
Production Unit to make three short films written and performed by<br />
local young people on the dangers of carrying a knife. The video was<br />
then used to stimulate a discussion with the children.<br />
The scheme would not have been such a huge success without the<br />
help of the <strong>Cranford</strong> Ambassadors. Seventy-two year 7 and 8 students<br />
helped to ensure the event ran smoothly and were a great credit to<br />
the school. The feedback from the primary schools and scenario<br />
providers was amazing with teachers seeking me out to tell me how<br />
wonderful, welcoming and helpful they thought our students had<br />
been. I particularly would like to thank Sanjay Suresh who became<br />
my unofficial assistant. Every morning at 8.30 he would round up<br />
the Ambassadors for their briefing and if there were any absences<br />
he would sort out a replacement.<br />
