The RE department has an excellent profile in the school. Positive attitudes towards the subject lead to excellent levels of enjoyment and learning, which are reflected in the numbers of students opting for examination courses. Parent/student feedback also reflects a positive attitude towards the subject and an appreciation of the value of the materials made available and the skills on offer within the department.
The department has a thorough Scheme of Learning in place with lesson plans/resources. These are reviewed regularly as a part of the department’s commitment to ensuring that RE lessons are relevant, informative and challenging. Common Assessments are also identified within the Scheme of Learning and support the learning/progress of students.
Sociology is part of the Faculty of Social Sciences. It is very well resourced and has appropriate schemes of work and controlled assessments. The subject teaches AS and A Level to students in years 10 to 13. AQA specification 7191/7192 is used and the Families and Households, Education with Research Methods, Beliefs in Society, Crime and Deviance with Research Methods components are taught. Historically numbers have usually enabled there to be one/two groups in each year group. The department comprises the Head of Department/Deputy Head of Sixth Form and one or two other members of staff who contribute to teaching. In 2022 exam results were outstanding, with 68.4% of A level students attaining an A – A* grade and 100% of Year 11 AS students attaining A – C, with 86.6% of these attaining an A grade.
