Psychology is the study of the mind. At Raynes Park High School, students study the many concepts contained within this definition, including the social, cognitive and abnormal perspectives in psychology. We aim to enable students to develop an understanding and empathy with the workings of the mind, both in an anatomical and cognitive sense. The course enables students to develop skills in analytical techniques including design, observation, handling and evaluating skills, logical thinking and written and oral expression. Practical elements are incorporated into the course at all available opportunities. At AS students will study different approaches in psychology, including cognitive and behavioural psychologies, attachment and stress. At A2 students also study disorders such as schizophrenia, biological rhythms and relationships. Psychology pushes us towards greater self-understanding by making us more aware of our actions and personalities.
