Sociology

Intent

We believe at Canon Slade that A level Sociology offers every student the opportunity to develop a sociological imagination – to appreciate that their history and biography and the social structure are connected.

 As C. Wright Mills asserted the critical task for Sociologists is to "translate personal troubles into public issues".

 A level Sociology guarantees that there is breadth and depth to student learning across the range of the AQA syllabus that builds up knowledge sequentially in a coherent way, leading to better long-term retention. A level Sociology aims to develop student’s analytical and evaluative skills to enable them to present a wide range of well-informed ideas and evaluative comment across a wide range of topics.
