Having examined various societies and civilisations in breadth and depth across all key stages, pupils now turn to the study of a society that they have not yet encountered, with a particular focus on how social, economic, cultural and political developments interacted in their chosen society. After deepening their knowledge of one modern society, pupils are prepared to contrast this with the society in which they live today, or any modern socities they might encounter in future study.
Prior knowledge requirements
