Intent
Psychology is a vast and intense subject. Learners develop the skills needed for critical thinking, the ability to create an argument and ability to debate. Candidates who complete their psychology learning at A Level, will be well placed to study a Bachelor of Science at university, as we prepare students for designing and conducting their own experiments. The Psychology teachers are well placed, having both specialised in psychology at degree level.
