Social Sciences
Department Ethos
Social Studies education gives pupils the knowledge, skills, and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe and to prepare them for life and work in modern Britain.
Social Studies helps equip young people to deal with situations of conflict and controversy knowledgeably and tolerantly. It helps by educating pupils on how to understand the consequences of their actions, and those of the adults around them as well as teaching them about how the UK is run and how they can contribute to our communities helping them become better citizens.
Curriculum KS3+KS4
The Key Stage 3 and Key stage 4 curriculum have been designed to embrace the values we uphold at Cams Hill School, Courtesy, Courage and Commitment and has been underpinned by the National Guidance for PSHE and Citizenship. Pupils will look at Relationships, living in the Wider World and Healthy Living together with Citizenship. These strands create our curriculum which is delivered to our pupils by Social Studies teachers twice a week in Key Stage 3 and once a week in Key Stage 4.
