Why do we learn sociology?
Our approach
Year 12
Year 13

Why do we learn sociology?

To think critically about the world around us through: 

  • Examining inequalities  

  • Analysing solutions 

  • Acquiring the tools to assess an ever-changing world, practically and theoretically 

Our approach

In sociology we adopt the school-wide pedagogical approach which ensures challenging expositions, frequent checks for understanding, clear modelling, and opportunities for practices.  

  • We take an interactive approach.  

  • Engage critically with sociological literature.  

  • Incorporate contemporary and contextual examples from the media. 

  • Embed sound essay writing skills through modelling and deliberate practices and feedback.  

  • Systematic revision.  

  • Questioning and discussion.
