Psychology is one of the most popular A-level courses, both in the school and across the country. At AS students will explore how the memory works and apply this to real life cases. Students also look at a range of studies and how they relate to topics such as abnormality, stress, attachments and conformity. Students will be able to carry out their own studies in school and a trip to the zoo will allow a range of behaviours to be observed and analysed. At A2 students get to deepen their understanding of different topics e.g. Aggression, Addiction and Schizophrenia. This is further explored in an overnight trip to London where students will engage in workshops involving hypnosis and delve into the world of serial killers with an exciting Jack the Ripper walking tour. Methods of Study Lessons focus on specific topics and include a range of methods such as discussion, group work, independent learning, presentations, peer and self-assessment and tackling exam questions. Documentaries and films are also used to introduce and embed key topic areas.
