Great primary #citizenship is “non statutory but important” yet too many schools don’t teach it -the ‘evolution’ required; make Citizenship a statutory subject at ks1&2 as well as ks3&4 - so no child misses out ⁦@ACitizenshipT⁩ ⁦@BeckyFrancis7⁩ ⁦@bphillipsonMP⁩

Baroness Smith: ‘It is crucial that we have sufficient, appropriately qualified teachers,’ noting the drop in specialist Citizenship teachers. #CurriculumReview aims to ensure young people gain the skills they need to thrive as active citizens. Watch: ow.ly/14Jj50TOu7c

The NC may full but in 2014 Citizenship was cut the most, has the smallest specification of requirements & already has financial education, sustainability, oracy - no to ‘adding’ content; yes to stat NC, clarity & quality in the subject & teaching @BeckyFrancis7 @ACitizenshipT

Unfair to expect new @educationgovuk ministers to have all answers in a few weeks on the job on complex issues eg extremism, misinformation &educational response-fortunately @BeckyFrancis7 is measured, logical & evidence based #curriculumreview @ACitizenshipT #teachingcitizenship

@chameleonpde @Missaahistory Perhaps but you devalue both by opting for a system where you lump them together.

@CitiEdLondon @Missaahistory We fail to see how you can teach one without the other. Have you seen the PSHE subject association framework? In reality schools struggle to fit in PSHE or citizenship so to expect them to timetable discrete sessions for both is an unrealistic ask in our opinion.

@chameleonpde @Missaahistory I would not put PSHE into the three year plan as it will create confusion. Both are explicit separate subjects and should be treated that way.

@Missaahistory There’s loads of crossover with PSHE so I’d look at some of the statutory PSHE content and plan lessons from there. Bags of material to debate etc
