Sociology is a fascinating subject which enables students to gain a deeper understanding of contemporary society by studying a range of topics such as Crime and Deviance, Education, Families and Households and Mass Media. These areas are explored through the key sociological theories of Functionalism, Marxism, Feminism, Interactionism and Postmodernism. Students are encouraged to debate sociological issues verbally and in writing. For instance, to what extent is modern childhood toxic and whether new media is having an overall positive or negative impact on society
To provide a solid foundation for A level study, we recommend that students achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in any subject with which they wish to continue. In some subjects, a Grade 7 may be more suitable to facilitate positive outcomes at A level, and the Sixth Form team will be happy to provide tailored advice on this matter.
Sociology A level follows the AQA syllabus which does not involve coursework. There are three examination papers with equal weighting: • Education with Theory and Methods • Families and Households; Mass Media • Crime and Deviance with Theory and Methods
