Curriculum

The Sociology Curriculum at Ashmole Academy is underpinned by five subject specific curriculum pillars:

These pillars allow the students to understand the key purposes of studying Sociology.  They focus on the skills and knowledge that will be developed over the two years.

The pillars are referred to in every lesson, enabling students to link new learning to what they already know and can do.

Extra-curricular

The department facilitates student-led debate clubs including Feminist Society which both applies and builds on content covered across the course and Debate Club which often touches upon socio-political content.   Pupils are also given the chance to conduct their own project as part of a competition that will allow them to better understand the research process.
