The A-level Psychology course is the scientific study of the mind and human behaviour, and as such provides students with a fascinating insight into the world around us and how to interact with others. Being a mixture of both the theoretical and practical aspects of science, pupils will study how the brain works and what drives our behaviour as well as psychological therapies and treatments. So, if you find the prospect of understanding why people act the way they do, and if you are open to challenging your own, and others’ opinions and values, then this course is certainly for you.
Acceptance into the Sixth Form is conditional upon the applicant’s meeting the entrance requirements of the School. For those taking GCSE or IGCSE, the expectation is for a minimum of six 9-4 grades (equivalent to A* – C in the old grading system) including Mathematics and English, preferably with at least a grade 6/7 in the subjects to be studied at A-level. Under normal circumstances, a place will be offered following an interview and the receipt of a satisfactory report from the Head of the applicant’s present school.
Pupils will take 3 written exams; Paper 1, Foundations of Psychology (35%), Paper 2, Applications of psychology (35%) and Paper 3, Psychological Skills (30%). These papers will test pupils’ abilities using a mixture of short answer, extended answer, and data response questions.
