Sociology Curriculum Overview

In Sociology, we aim to create global citizens equipped to make independent judgments, who are aware of the past, present, people and future of the world around them. Through questioning, investigation and critical thinking, BHA learners are discovering their place in the world, as well as their own values and their responsibilities. The curriculum focuses on developing knowledge and skills which will give students a firm foundation for further study for their further study and later life. Furthermore, it allows all learners to have the best possible chance to feel confident in their own abilities and build on previous learning.

We aim to broaden our young people’s minds by encouraging them to see the world through different perspectives. Learners will critically analyse the social world in thought-provoking ways. They will learn about the structure of society, the processes that occur within it and wide-ranging issues. This will be carried out through the study of families, education, crime and deviance and social stratification. Learners will develop their ability to analyse and apply sociological knowledge in specific contexts. Learners will also develop their communication skills by comparing and contrasting sociological perspectives, make reasoned arguments, make judgements and draw justified conclusions.
