Sociology seeks to account for the varied forms of human society and to look at the impact of culture and social organisation on individual lives.

Learners should use the concepts and framework developed within sociology to reflect on their own experiences of the social world in a variety of social settings.

They will apply their awareness to the understanding of the variety of human cultures.

Learners will gain the ability to use evidence and to arrive at reasoned judgments based on information from a variety of sources.

Students will learn to organise and communicate their knowledge in a structured and organised manner.

Over one year students can obtain a qualification in GCSE Sociology (short course) and over two years GCSE Sociology (full course).
