Sociology

Course summary

AS and A Level Sociology at Archbishop Tenison’s Intent Sociology is the study of society, and of human behaviour in society. At Archbishop Tenison’s we offer A Level and AS Sociology, following the AQA specification. We develop in our students a critical and questioning approach, not only to the specific topics that we study for A Level, but also to contemporary society. As young citizens of a fast-changing and diverse global community, we aim for our sociologists to leave Tenisons’ as socially aware and alert individuals, who can ask challenging questions about ‘social facts’ that others may take for granted, and suggest appropriate methods to answer them.
