At Dairsie, Social Studies helps pupils make sense of the world past, present and future. Through engaging topics in people, place and society, we explore local heritage, global cultures, historical events and current issues. Children learn to ask questions, think critically and understand the impact of human actions on communities and the environment.

From mapping skills and fieldwork to debates, timelines and enterprise projects, learning is brought to life through real experiences. Social Studies links closely with our focus on sustainability, rights and active citizenship, encouraging pupils to see themselves as part of a global community with the power to make a difference.
