Citizenship at Key Stage 4 builds on prior learning related to rights, responsibilities, duties, freedoms, the law, justice and democracy. It encourages respect for different identities- national, religious and ethnic- and engagement with diverse ideas, beliefs and cultures.
The issues of human rights, community cohesion and global links are addressed. Pupils develop their critical thinking by considering issues, source of information and making an informed judgement. They use these skills to form arguments and speak about issues of concern from their perspective and that of others. The ability to evaluate viewpoints, relationships between these and action taken in local and global contexts is emphasised with pupils acknowledging and engaging with perspectives that they do not necessarily agree with.
As for Key Stage 3, the concepts of democracy and justice, rights and responsibilities and living together in a diverse UK society form the basis of the curriculum as does the development of critical thinking skills and enquiry. The materials in this section can support planning and resourcing lessons within the recommended range and content of the Citizenship curriculum.
