Sociology
“The truth is hidden and we need to unravel layers to reach the very core of society, to discover it and change the illusion that most hold to be the truth”

Sociology is the study of society, patterns of social relationships, social interaction and culture of everyday life. It is a social science that uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about social order, acceptance and change or social evolution. Here at Bordesley Green Girls' School and Sixth Form, this subject is currently offered only at A Level, rather than lower down the school, but is a tremendously popular choice amongst students.
'Curiosity leads to questioning, questioning leads to exploration, exploration leads to discovery and discovery leads to the truth'.
The Sociology curriculum at B.G.G.S focuses on different traditional focuses of sociology include social stratification, social class, social mobility, religion, secularization, law, sexuality, gender and deviance.
