Psychology Department Vision and Intent
We aim to provide students with the ability to think deeply about the underlying basis of their own and others behaviour. We model the scientific method and demonstrate how the discipline of psychology has furthered our understanding of the human mind and behaviour. Our students are critical thinkers, who can analyse various psychological perspectives, evaluate different theoretical approaches and make connections between theory and the real world.
Students of psychology are:
- Reflective and resilient, with a drive to make constant progress in their own understanding
- Confident in their ability to make connections between their GCSE knowledge of science and maths, and their new learning in A-Level Psychology
- Logical and systematic in their approach to questioning the world around them
