Sociology

We follow a two year GCSE course covering a range of Sociological themes and skills. There are two examinations at the end of year 11. Paper 1 (The sociology of Families & Education) is 50% of the total marks and Paper 2 (The sociology of crime and deviance & social stratification) is the other 50%. Both papers are 1hr 45mins and contain 100 marks. We study the themes within each paper from the point of view of real world issues as well as research methods. During the course, students will have the opportunity to participate in revision conferences as well as Immersion Days.
