Social Studies - KS4
Our aim is to enrich our students through an ambitious thought-provoking curriculum that offers clear opportunities to promote students' spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development. This allows them to gain a better understanding of the world around them creating rounded students with a strong understanding of living happily and healthily in contemporary Britain.
The Social Studies department across all levels seeks to:
- Teach pupils how to express their viewpoints clearly, confidently, and logically.
- Learn to work both independently as well as with others
- Consider the impact religion and belief has within Britain and wider society, acknowledging the diversity between and within religions and worldviews.
- Dispel inaccuracies and myths, encouraging a more inclusive society, as well as an understanding of oneself
- Learn the following, specified methods: to investigate, to develop empathy, to express, to recall, select and organise material; to analyse and explain the relevance and application of a perspective; to offer a balanced argument by evaluating different responses to religious, philosophical and moral issues.
