As a science sociology functions as a thriving academic discipline dedicated to the study of societies and individuals through observation, measurement, and testing, in order to form conclusions that are based on sound scientific methodology. Many students find that as they study education, families, beliefs and other topics that they become better at understanding the dynamics in society and they also become better communicators as a result. Extra-Curricular Opportunities: In the summer term of Year 12, pupils make a day trip to the V&A Museum of childhood where they experience a workshop about the social construction of childhood. There is an illustrated talk with images of childhood, followed by a small group discussion. This links directly to our topics of families and households as well as education. In Year 13 pupils will attend lectures on their examination topics in central London by some of the leading university tutors, lead examiners and authors in those fields Additional Support: We rigorously track pupil progress using the online school data system and encourage students to use their ‘Learning Journeys’ so they can take ownership of their progression. Students receive weekly exam practice and tests throughout the year as well as additional projects and reading to improve their knowledge and understanding of the course. We support smarter revision for students through the use of our subject shared area which contains additional booklets, model essays and exam practice questions. Pupils also receive regular folder checks to make sure their classwork is completed in detail and remains well organised for revision. Progression Routes: Students are expected to think critically about theories, perspectives, and studies. By the end of the course pupils will be independent thinkers capable of having sophisticated sociological arguments linked to families, beliefs, crime and globalisation. Sociology provides an excellent skillset for careers such as: human resources, public relations specialist, social researcher, policy analyst, management consultant, law, social worker, politics, teaching and international aid/ development worker.
