The National Curriculum states that
at KS3 pupils should be taught:
1b about the diversity of national,
regional, religious and ethnic identities
in the United Kingdom and the need
for mutual respect and understanding.
Citizenship is a curriculum
area that your school may choose to
deliver through subject areas or as
an individual subject. For 'Who
am I ? ' the Race activity
can be used to promote respect for
different ethnic identities and to
develop pupils' ability to reflect
on issues and participate in discussion.
The resources can be used within the
science classroom or during dedicated
Citizenship lessons.
Race can also contribute to
the delivery of PSHE in the science
classroom. Through PSHE at KS3 pupils
learn about themselves as growing
and changing individuals and as members
of their communities acquiring maturity,
independence and power. They become
more self-aware, and are capable of
more sophisticated moral reasoning.
They take more responsibility for
themselves and become more aware of
the views, needs and rights of people
of all ages.
Help on the teaching of controversial
issues can be found in the citizenship
guidance for for KS3 and 4 at
