Sociology

The Sociology department is committed to providing an ambitious and thought provoking A level curriculum. The department will deliver the course via a variety of methods, enabling each student to develop the skills needed to succeed in examinations and in further life.
The Sociology department is aspiring to cultivate a wide range of knowledge in our students, making them reflect on topics ranging from Education to Crime. This knowledge will enable students to criticise positively and negatively the society they live in.
The students will be expected to demonstrate their prowess as independent learners, and they will be able to express these skills through challenging prep tasks and project work in class. However, the students can also expect high levels of support and scaffolding from their contact time in lessons.

The department aims to not only deliver the best possible curriculum but also to ensure that students are motivated to carry on the subject once they leave the school; whether this be reading the subject at University or continuing to engage with the new scientific developments.
In line with the recent changes, the course is delivered in a linear fashion and students will be required to take three two hour exams at the end of the second year of the course.
The department aims to assess and support the progression of its students through a combination of independent learning tasks; short regular knowledge assessments; written assessments and written prep.
