Through Social Studies, pupils develop their understanding of the world by learning about other people and their values, in different times, places and circumstances; they also develop their understanding of their environment and of how it has been shaped. With greater understanding comes the opportunity and ability to influence events by exercising informed and responsible citizenship.

Pupils who choose Social Studies will explore all three areas of Social Studies: Geography, History and Modern Studies.

Pupils will explore a variety of topics within a Scottish context. Please look at the course options above for more information.
