The following aims are identified in The National Curriculum Handbooks for primary and secondary teachers:

• The school curriculum should contribute to the development of pupils' sense of identity through knowledge and understanding of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural heritages of Britain's diverse society and of the local, national, European, commonwealth and global dimensions of their lives.
• The school curriculum should promote equal opportunities and enable pupils to challenge discrimination and stereotyping.

  Britkid is a ready made, safe environment for learning that integrates these areas fully. It has specific National Curriculum links for Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 and incorporates opportunities for ICT.

The National Curriculum requires subjects to provide opportunities for ICT.

Pupils should be given opportunities to apply and develop their ICT capability through the use of ICT tools to support their learning in all subjects (except PE in Key Stages 1-2). Pupils should be given opportunities to support their work by being taught to;

Find things out from a variety of sources, selecting and synthesising the information to meet their needs and developing an ability to question its accuracy, bias and plausibility.

Britkid is constructed on 2 levels, which broadly corresponds with the following reading abilities;

1. General Game Play = Key Stage 2
2. Further Game play (hyperlinks to serious issues pages) = Key Stage 3

NB.

There are a few variations with occasional pages being higher/lower in ability. This is to allow for flexibility and diversity within the Key Stage Groups and stops the site from being too mechanistic.
