Sociology

Sociology is one of the exciting subjects that students can choose to study at GCSE and A Level. Sociology means the scientific study of society and covers units including family, education and crime. The course enriches our curriculum through developing students’ analytical and critical thinking skills and encourages an appreciation of how different people from a variety of backgrounds live and function together. In today’s society a strength of this course is that it enables our students to acquire a much greater awareness of the social processes and social
changes that affect everyday lives.

Many of which often feature in the news; for example, Rashford and his promotion of free school meals over school holidays is a real-life illustration of the unit looking at the impact of poverty on educational achievement. Indeed, the class I saw today was examining the social distribution of crime and deviance by gender and exploring recent patterns and trends in crime. In choosing any option for study it is important that students start to look into the courses early on and ask teachers as well as other students what they are looking at and how they find the course.
