Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behaviour. If you are fascinated by people and the way the mind works this course will inspire you to question everything you experience. Psychology may satisfy your scientific and enquiring mind, leading you to apply your knowledge outside the classroom. In addition to learning about a wide range of engaging subjects you will also develop your analytical, evaluative and independent research skills.

Entry to A Level courses requires 5 or more GCSEs at grade 9-4 in different subjects. We strongly recommend that this includes a minimum GCSE grade 4 in English Language & Mathematics. Resits in GCSE Mathematics & English Language will be offered. At enrolment, we are prepared to have a conversation with any student who has not fully met the entry profile. All subjects will be offering the two year linear A level/vocational route. Please visit the website for detailed subject entry profiles.

Each subject content is detailed in the exam board specifications. Please visit the exam board website to read these.

Teaching and learning is very important to us. We teach so that it has personalised learning to both stretch and support level 3 learning styles including debate, discussions, presentations and one to one support.

It is always necessary to be fully equipped for lessons in readiness for learning. This includes writing stationary and writing pads. Textbooks and other necessary resources are loaned to you over the course of your A levels.

You will be assessed regularly throughout the course through independent learning tasks, quizzes, tests and calendared trial exams. This will allow you to measure your progress in the subject.
