The History department aims to give pupils a sense of belonging and understanding of their place in society.  The department is committed to presenting History to pupils in an interesting way which really brings the subject to life. Studying History teaches life-long literacy, analytical and investigation skills essential for the wider world beyond school years.

This course is designed to respect the rights of others to express beliefs, viewpoints and values which pupils may not share. Pupils will also develop the confidence to share their own beliefs, viewpoints and values with others who may not agree with them.

Geography is about understanding the world around us, and increasingly, considering how we interact with that world.  Here at Broughton High School we encourage students to develop a sense of place, both nationally and internationally.  We focus on Scotland’s Geography but also study development and inequalities between different regions of the world.
