This place‑based approach helps learners explore identity, heritage and the real world around them, fostering authentic engagement and deeper understanding of their community. By drawing on learners’ lived environments and strengthening ties with local people and settings, pupils gain relevant, practical experiences that build confidence and essential skills.
