The Psychology and Sociology Year 12 students ventured into Westminster with Mrs Baldwin and Mr Harcourt this week to visit the Supreme Court; which is the highest court in the UK.

They were given a guided tour through the courts and learnt about the role of the Supreme Court and some of high profile cases that have been heard in this historical building. They even got to sit in the gallery and listen to a live court case!

After lunch, the students then walked through Parliament Square, The Mall and gave the King a wave as they went past Buckingham Palace!

It was an interesting and enjoyable day for all, and even the rain could not dampen their spirits!

The Psychology course (scientific study of the workings of the mind and how it influences  behaviour) in KS5 is a great introduction to Psychology, the specification has an extensive coverage of core topics covered in year 12 with plenty of additional topics to choose from in year 13. All topics include key approaches and help to develop evaluative and analytical research skills.
