Psychology

Learning takes place within a dynamic environment that values discussion, debate, and independent inquiry. By sharing a passion for the subject and modeling the importance of reading and lifelong learning, educators inspire students to pursue their own research. This approach nurtures self-mastery and encourages students to take ownership of their learning through self-regulation and reflection.

Students are supported with high-quality learning booklets that strike a balance between deep engagement with Psychology and the rigors of exam success. Regular low-stakes assessments—such as Kahoot quizzes, oral questioning, knowledge checks, and independent tasks—help quickly identify understanding and knowledge gaps. More formal assessments at the end of each unit provide clear insight into student progress.

The A Level Psychology course enables students to:

• Build a strong foundation of knowledge across key areas of Psychology and understand how these areas interconnect.
• Develop a deep appreciation for scientific methods and the skills required to apply them.
• Gain confidence and competence in practical, mathematical, and problem-solving tasks.
• Cultivate a genuine interest in Psychology, including pathways for further study and related careers.
• Understand how scientific knowledge informs societal decisions and contributes to economic and social progress.
