The world around us is changing. Societies are rising and falling at a terrifying rate but the opportunities offered are tantalising and vast. People are changing how they communicate, with the rise of globalisation and domination of digital media hastening the sharing of ideas, the pace of change and increasing opportunities to be involved. In order to make sense of this, we follow the AQA exam board. Sociology at the Ecclesbourne School is about understanding those changes, harnessing the power of the theorists and idealists that have analysed the themes and shifting currents and attempting to make sense of what we see around us. By studying education, crime and deviance, families and households and mass media we analyse how theories influence the methods of gaining the data to study these topics and the methods of research in the context of education - why you can't trust statistics released on attainment from schools and have to be aware of how data is gained!
5 GCSES 4-9 or A*-C to include Maths and English Lang or Lit Grade 5.
