Psychology is the scientific study of thought, emotion and behaviour, posing more questions than it has provided answers for; the perfect course for pupils who want to gain a greater understanding of people and the drivers of human behaviour, while developing their critical thinking. Over the last few years the department has travelled to Berlin, Krakow and Auschwitz to learn about psychological theories that try to explain human behaviour in the Holocaust and the Cold War.
Academic assessment will be based on GCSE predictions and results. Pupils wishing to enter the 6th Form to study A-levels or BTECs should have a minimum of 7 GCSEs, including English and Mathematics, at levels 5 or above and at least three, usually in the subjects to be studied, at level 6 or above. Pupils with lower grades may still be offered a place in the 6th Form to study alternatives to A-levels dependent upon individual areas of expertise and aptitude.
There are three papers comprising of multiple choice questions, short answer questions and sixteen marked essays. Within these three papers, 30-33% of the mark will be based on applying knowledge to real life examples. 10% of the overall grade will require the use of mathematical skills and 25% will be assessment of the understanding of research methods.
