Psychology
Course summary
Psychology is taught as part of the social science curriculum. In common with other social science subjects, psychology aims to develop in learners, a critical and evaluative approach as we strongly believe that knowing how different people see the world allows our learners to make sense of the world, ask questions of it and know how to change it.

Assessment
Revision: In addition to the new topics, we will also spend time in Year 13 revising the topics from Year 12 in order to prepare for the examinations. There will be 3 examinations at the end of Year 13 which will examine all of the content from Year 12 and 13. Each examination will last 2 hours and will be a combination of short and extended written answers. Catch up sessions are available EVERY Tuesday and Thursday (Dates subject to change) in the pod. Learners are encouraged to attend these sessions to aid their progress. In some cases, where students are making very slow progress, attendance will be made compulsory.
