Curriculum
Homework
It is our intent to inspire pupils in the understanding of the mind and behaviour. We aim to secure strong academic outcomes alongside a discovery of new and thought-provoking areas of study. By exploring a wide range of topics, pupils can find areas of interest which will raise their confidence and encourage them to embrace a growth mind set.
The Psychology curriculum involves students learning about key psychological approaches, research and advances through history and considering the practical applications psychology has in society today.
It is the intention that students will develop empathy, integrity and respect by understanding others and why they may act the way they do because of factors outside of their control as well as looking at how some behaviours can be influenced by ourselves as well. Students will learn about ethical considerations and the implications of being unethical in research to promote integrity in the research process and how we should treat others.
Students can expect to be challenged and supported in tackling challenging issues and topics to build curiosity, resilience, confidence and ambition. High expectations from teachers will help to model resilience and ambition from students. Furthermore, academic reading opportunities and extended learning will help to promote curiosity and a love for Psychology.
