Key Stage 2 Citizenship

About KS2 Citizenship

Citizenship in Key Stage 2 encourages children to think about rules, fairness, and the role of people in society. It helps pupils understand why laws exist and how they protect us all, as well as the importance of respecting the rights of others.

Through quizzes such as Rules and Laws and Local Democracy, children explore how communities are organised. Other quizzes like People Who Help Us and Human Rights build understanding of key ideas in democracy and equality.

By studying citizenship, pupils gain skills that prepare them for being active, responsible members of society who know their rights and duties.

See the official Government guidance: Citizenship programmes of study for key stages 1 and 2.
