Continuity across the key stages:
Citizenship key stage 3

To make good progress pupils need continuity and opportunities for development across the key stages. To achieve this, curriculum planning at key stage 3 needs to:

• build on and extend pupils' achievements and experiences at key stage 2
• provide pupils with a clear sense of how teaching and learning is helping them develop their knowledge, skills and understanding, and what they are aiming to achieve by the end of the key stage
• prepare pupils for the demands of the subject at key stage 4.

QCA is currently developing guidance to support continuity across the key stages in citizenship.
