In Social Sciences, we have been inviting guest speakers from local universities to discuss wider aspects of the curriculum such as the increased popularity of right wing politics, childhood behavioural disorders and cyber bullying.
At A level, we have changed the way we deliver our curriculum, ensuring that learners research at home in order to increase time spent discussing and applying our knowledge – essential exam skills!
At key stage 4, we have also increased the level of classroom discussion and collaboration in the classroom. As a department we have been developing the amount of choice we provide learners with regard to tasks and outcomes both inside and outside of the classroom.
