WELCOME TO SOCIOLOGY
Sociology is a Post 16 subject and is housed in two light airy, well decorated rooms based in the Modern Foreign Languages building.
All students are part of a global environment which is rapidly changing and Sociology aims to help them gain some of the skills and abilities needed to futher their knowledge of the world in which they live. Sociology aims to help young people learn how to deal with events and consequences and to aid their lifelong learning as they take their place as citizens of the world.

Syllabus
Sociology aims to prepare young people for life and work in modern society by offering examples, studying and understanding of our contemporary society.
As a new subject for students Sociology challenges traditional school conventions which may inhibit learning.
Sociology aims to facilitate the progressive learning process by raising the Sociological awareness of students and aiding the development of their Sociological imagination by:
- listening and responding to students,
- encouraging and where appropriate praising them,
- recognising and handling misconceptions,
- building on responses and steering them towards new learning and clearer understanding.
All in an environment with positive attitudes to gender equality, cultural diversity and free from ethnic bias.
