Sociology

Curriculum Intent

At Peacehaven Community School, our Sociology curriculum exemplifies our commitment to outstanding education, fostering an environment that enables students to aspire, believe, contribute, and achieve. Through the study of Family, Education, Crime, and Social Stratification, our students gain a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between individuals and society, while also developing crucial critical thinking and analytical skills.

Our curriculum supports our vision of producing well-rounded, knowledgeable, passionate, and empathetic young individuals who actively engage in their democracy, understanding various political issues and their place in society. By providing students with opportunities to explore academic texts, news articles, and data from diverse sources, we promote their literacy, numeracy, and oracy skills. Our curriculum is carefully designed to develop students' cognitive and social-emotional skills, equipping them to excel in an ever-changing world in their chosen career.

Our Sociology curriculum demonstrates our unwavering dedication to nurturing ambitious, responsible, and compassionate global citizens, ready to understand and contribute meaningfully to society and achieve their full potential.
