Our Ethos
As a faculty we strive to enable all of our students to understand what it means to be successful in our subject areas and how such knowledge can impact our lives in a positive way. We believe that our subjects allow students to acquire an important sense of belonging within society as well as building their own individual identity.
Subjects within the Social Sciences faculty will help uncover pathways leading to careers in Law, Journalism, the Police force, Business and Teaching.
We are currently in the process of finalising our updated knowledge maps, knowledge organisers for students, and assessment plans. These documents will be placed here once fully completed in the next few weeks.
Subject Curriculum Map(s)
Home Learning
As many of the subjects within the Social Sciences faculty are A-level subjects, home learning is imperative for our student’s success. Students are given associated reading for every lesson, which should be read prior to the lesson.
This allows teachers to use the lesson effectively, as they are able to spend valuable time honing in on the content students are struggling with, as well as developing the students' skills in using the content they have already learnt.
Extra-Curricular Activities
The Social Sciences faculty believe that Extra-Curricular activity is fundamental in achieving ones full potential. This is why we offer a range of revision and intervention sessions, ranging from weekly sessions to half-term holiday booster sessions.
