Sociology

Curriculum Intent

The Social Sciences department believes that studying sociology gives students the opportunity to delve deeper into society and understand how it functions through critically examining ways of life. It aims to create responsible citizens with awareness of social issues such as inequality, prejudice and discrimination, and encourage students to lead healthy and happy lives by developing awareness of social issues which they can apply in their own lives. The knowledge and skills gained in Sociology aims to create students who are confident in developing and expressing their own informed opinions but are also respectful of the views of others.
