Psychology is a popular A Level subject at Wolverhampton Grammar School and complements many other courses of study particularly Biology but also Religious Studies, although there are no prescribed preferental combinations. All students can attend the Psychology Support and Extension lunchtime sessions. You will learn a range of skills as well as the academic discipline itself. The expert staff who teach you will guide and coach you to actively ‘do’ psychology as opposed to simply studying its central assumptions. Psychology is a subject that suits anybody who wants to gain scientific insight into behaviour. It is about unravelling the myths surrounding much of human behaviour and offering empirically testable theories, grounded in controlled experiments. The aim is for stereotypical assumptions to be dismantled and replaced with concrete, factual analysis instead. Psychology has also, importantly, been upgraded in status as a science at A Level and this may well be a welcome additional consideration for those who are already intending to include it in their studies but also for those wishing to study Medicine.
An average GCSE score of 5.5 across a minimum of 7 subjects is required for entry to our Sixth Form along with a satisfactory school report. Further details can be found below in the key information section. Students must fulfil the entry requirements of Wolverhampton Grammar Sixth Form and achieve a minimum Grade 6 in Science, English and Maths GCSE/IGCSE. In addition, good articulacy and strong English language skills will prove invaluable, alongside a willingness to read much supplementary material. A sound grasp of mathematical/statistical principles and perhaps Biology would be advantageous.
