KS2 Citizenship: Making a Difference — SEND-Adapted Pack

KS2 Citizenship: Making a Difference — SEND-Adapted Pack

A full SEND-adapted version of the KS2 Citizenship: Making a Difference unit. Includes an EEF-strategy Teacher Guide, a Scaffolded Pupil Workbook for all 6 lessons, a Simplified Knowledge Organiser, DfE Engagement Model planning for EHC pupils, and 6 rebuilt lesson decks with picture-supported scaffolds throughout. Same active-citizenship content as the mainstream scheme — what an active citizen is, finding an issue we care about, researching it, planning our action, taking action, and the difference we made — simplified for full-class access. Ready for the statutory citizenship entitlement announced for 2028.
This pack follows Verity’s standard two-tier SEND structure. Tier A — adaptive teaching for pupils with SEND without an EHC plan: the whole class stays on the same ambitious content, with the right scaffolds, not a watered-down version. Tier B — DfE Engagement Model (2020) planning for pupils with EHC plans: sensory, multi-modal access ideas, core truths at an accessible level, and symbol/Makaton key words. The Teacher Guide is mapped to the Education Endowment Foundation’s five evidence-based SEND strategies (explicit instruction, scaffolding, flexible grouping, cognitive and metacognitive strategies, and purposeful use of technology). Every file is an editable Word or PowerPoint document.
