Sociology

Sociology has never been more exciting with the pop-
ularity of the subject growing and the number of pu-
pils in the subject brimming. The pupils have taken to
the subject and embraced the significance of the moral
fabrics of society.

Year 10 have learnt about the practical, cultural, and
political aspects of the subject and understood how
sociology contributes to social policy and the impact
these policies have on society.

Year 11 pupils have understood why the nuclear fam-
ily is seen as the ideal family structure, how education
is pivotal in a meritocratic system and why crime and
deviance are prominent in today’s society.

Year 12 pupils have focused heavily on how sociolo-
gists collect data to understand social groups. Pupils
have also investigated how the forefathers of Sociolo-
gy have shaped modern society, social identity, and
the family.

Year 13 have focused on education, global politics,
the effects of the media, and the impact of secularisa-
tion on religious belief. Pupils developed deep critical
thinking skills about challenging topics in the world
today.

Sociology is more relevant today than it has ever been
as pupils are curious about an ever-changing society
and the impact it has on social identities, culture, and
politics.
