| Sociology is studied in the Sixth Form for one year at AS or two years at A level. The course is modular and consists of 6 modules of study: 3 modules at AS and 3 modules at A2. It is not necessary for students to have studied sociology before and no prior knowledge of the subject is required. A qualification in English at grade C or above is essential. From September 2007 a GCSE course in sociology is being offered as an option in Years 10 and 11. An interest in current affairs is also helpful. In lessons, students are introduced to theory and then have opportunity to apply their knowledge and discuss real-life situations and experiences involving the family, media, and crime. Sociology combines well with history, geography, media studies, english and psychology. It is a popular subject at degree level and a useful qualification for those considering careers in law, the police force, social work or any career involving the management of people. Sociology is taught by Mrs. S. Cooper, who is Curriculum Leader for Sociology and Lead Learner for Year8 |
