Humanities at Braidwood include, History, Religious Studies and Geography.

We want learners to develop an understanding of the world, its people, places and events that encourages them to self–reflect and develop empathy for others.

Within Humanities we reinforce ideas related to “British Values”. Throughout the curriculum, learners have opportunities to learn about our communities and how we should value others’ beliefs and be proud ourselves. Learners are encouraged to reflect on current events across the world and the importance of learning from mistakes that have happened in the past.

Topics are selected to develop pupils’ understanding of a range of historic periods, including our local history.
