William Edwards School

Sociology 

Our vision:

In Year 10 students have the option to choose to study GCSE Sociology. We offer the full course through the examination board AQA.

The course is made up of four main units, studied over the two years. Pupils will sit two examination papers of one hour and 45 minutes each at the end of Year 11. There is no option for coursework or controlled assessment in this subject.

The main units the course will cover are;

  • Family
  • Education
  • Crime and Deviance
  • Social Stratification

Pupils who opt for this course will also investigate the research methods that sociologists use to discover more about social structures and processes, such as interviews and questionnaires. Finally, they will consider all of these issues and ideas in relation to a number of sociological theories which include Marxism, Feminism and Functionalism.
