Curriculum

The Social Subjects department at Williamwood High School provides a wide range of courses and learning opportunities to suit the needs of all pupils. Our courses are designed to offer a more flexible approach to learning and reinforce a commitment to achievement. We provide a coherent, flexible and enriched curriculum that aims to help prepare children and young people with the knowledge and skills they need in a fast changing world. Beyond the "traditional" Social Subjects we also offer alternative pathways in subjects such as Politics, Travel and Tourism, Scottish Studies and Personal Development. Additionally, we prepare pupils for completion of YPI - a charity initiative.

S3 is a period of transition. Pupils move on from the Experiences and Outcomes which make up the broad general curriculum into Fourth Level Experiences and Outcomes which form the basis of study in the Senior Phase. Pupils will be able build the depth of knowledge, understanding and application of skills necessary to lay the foundations for more specialised learning in the Senior Phase.

Pupils move to the Senior Phase in S4 to S6. It includes studying for National Qualifications. The approach offered in Social Subjects ensures a broad experience across the curriculum areas up to the end of S4, providing pupils with a wide range of knowledge, skills and exciting experiences that they can draw on as their lives, careers and job opportunities continue to change.
