Study Psychology in a live, specialist Sixth Form classroom.

The course develops scientific explanations of behaviour, cognition and individual experience. The current Pearson specification controls assessed content and the school confirms its sequence for each cohort.

• Social and cognitive psychology

• Biological and learning approaches

• Clinical and applied psychology

• Research methods, evidence and debates

Students compare theories, interpret research and judge evidence. Live discussion separates everyday assumptions from scientific claims.

The current Pearson Edexcel IAL is externally assessed through modular written examinations covering knowledge, application, research methods and evaluation.

Psychology supports psychology, neuroscience, education, social science and health-related pathways; professional routes require further accredited study.

Strong reading, extended writing, data interpretation and willingness to evaluate competing explanations are important. Choice must also consider the complete combination, workload and intended university requirements.
