Abstract
This case study research concerns itself with controversies surrounding the Fundamental British Values (FBV) policy within secondary education and offers a persuasive case study which shows geography to be a promising subject for schools seeking a critical pedagogic response to the FBV policy. Dialogic practice in the form of students’ self-reflection was found to be influential in synthesising Year 7’s understanding of FBVs with strands of geographical learning. Finally, this research has purposefully positioned geography as a relevant and versatile subject, equipping students for life in modern Britain.
