Citizenship
Where does Citizenship fit in?
In primary schools citizenship forms part of the non-statutory framework for PSHE and Citizenship, and in secondary schools it is a discrete statutory curriculum area with national curriculum orders.
Citizenship is distinct from PSHE, although there are areas that overlap.
Citizenship non-statutory guidelines from the National Curriculum
Both emphasise the development of skills and exploration of attitudes. A useful distinction is that citizenship supports pupils' development in making a positive contribution to society, such as political decision makers , as opposed to PSHE which supports pupils' development in leading emotionally confident, healthy and responsible lives as members of society.
