Curriculum Intent
In Sociology, our curriculum intent is:
For students to gain a deep understanding of research methods to be able to design, conduct and evaluate studies into a wide and complex range of social issues.
For students to develop critical and analytical thinking skills.
For students to engage in deep thinking about society to deconstruct social structures to develop a richer understanding of their mechanisms and effects on society.
For students to reflect on societal constructs such as socialisation and ideology to relate learning to personal circumstance to deepen understanding of how society affects individuals.
