Social Studies at Beauchamps

Autumn 1: Diversity 

As part of our ongoing commitment to creating an inclusive environment promoting mutual respect and courtesy, our half termly theme is a celebration of diversity. We will explore all the ways that Britain can be seen as a diverse community and consider the ways in which we can celebrate this. This will be achieved through lessons in Social Studies, particularly in Year 9, who will be examining diversity and the law, including what makes a crime a ‘hate crime’. In Year 7, students will begin to explore what a diverse Britain means and be introduced to the concept of British Values. Year 8 will study the British Democracy and representation of the government. Form time discussions for Year 9 will also include an examination into immigration to the UK and allow students to explore alternative points of view on the impact this has on our society.  

This will tie in with a celebration of diversity and Black History through an assembly inviting students to consider the ideas around ‘building bridges, not barriers’ and meeting the Diversity Team of 6th Form Ambassadors.
