National curriculum links

The Journey learning programmes raise children’s awareness of the consequences of the choices made by adults on whether or not to stand up for others. Pupils are challenged to consider different responses, including their own, to isolation or prejudice within our communities. This section lists the programmes’ National Curriculum links.

Citizenship, SMSC and PHSE

Pupils will:

  • Prepare to play an active role as a citizen.
  • Develop good relationships with and respect for the differences between people.
  • Appreciate the range of national, regional, religious and ethnic identities in the UK.
  • Consider how their actions can affect themselves and others.
  • Realise the nature and consequences of racism, bullying, aggressive behaviours and how to respond to them and ask for help.
  • Recognise and challenging stereotypes.
  • Examine their own beliefs and values and respect those of others.
  • Develop critical and independent thinking and consider who they would like to be.

They will read fiction, non-fiction and books from other cultures and traditions, including diaries, autobiographies, biographies, textbooks and letters.
