The Trinity of Citizenship Education and the aim of the new 'improved' Citizenship curriculum

As decreed by the Advisory Group on Education for Citizenship and the Teaching of Democracy in Schools:

1. Social and moral responsibility
2. Community involvement
3. Political Literacy

 

At Key Stage 3, Citizenship should equip pupils with the knowledge and skills needed for effective and democratic participation. It should help pupils to become informed, critical, active citizens who have the confidence and conviction to work collaboratively, take action and try to make a difference in their communities and the wider world.
