Sociology Sociology Sociology Sociology Sociology Back to Subjects Meet the teachers At King Edward VI High School, our AQA A-level Sociology course provides students with a fascinating insight into the complexities of contemporary society. We encourage students to explore challenging questions about social life, culture, and power, equipping them with the analytical and critical thinking skills needed for a wide range of future opportunities. Key Stage 5 This two-year linear course is assessed through three two-hour written exams. The curriculum is structured around several key themes, with an emphasis on drawing examples from British society today. Paper 1: Education with Theory and Methods This paper explores key issues in the sociology of education and introduces students to the underpinning theories and research methods used in the study of sociology. Paper 2: Optional Topics in Sociology Students study two optional topics. The available options include: Culture and Identity: An examination of the nature of culture in various societies and how identity is shaped by factors such as age and gender. Beliefs in Society: A look at the different belief systems that individuals and groups use to make sense of everyday life. Paper 3: Crime and Deviance with Theory and Methods This paper delves into the key issues in the sociology of crime and deviance, alongside a deeper look at the theoretical and methodological foundations of the subject. Career opportunities A qualification in Sociology provides an excellent foundation for university courses in a variety of subjects, including Sociology and Criminology. The knowledge and skills gained are also highly valuable for careers in fields such as teaching, nursing, midwifery, politics, and law.

Criminology Criminology Criminology Criminology Criminology Back to Subjects Meet the teachers The course offers an excellent grounding in Criminology, especially for those who may already have half an eye on a possible career in the Criminal Justice system. It does not exclude the students from studying the subject at degree level. Key Stage 5 The course is structured around key units that provide a comprehensive understanding of the criminal justice system: Changing Perception of Crime: This unit involves a study of "hidden crimes," such as hate crime, honour crime, and domestic violence, and how they are portrayed by the media. Students will have the opportunity to create materials for a campaign to reduce criminality, applying their learning in a practical way. Theories of Criminality: We explore different theoretical explanations for why people commit crimes, including biological, sociological, and psychological theories. Students learn to apply these theories to a range of criminal behaviours, from gang membership and serial killers to female crime. Crime Scene to Court Room: This unit guides students through the entire process of a criminal investigation. They will learn about the roles of key professionals, including profilers, SOCOs (Scene of Crime Officers), police, and lawyers. A key part of the assessment involves students analysing evidence to determine the guilt of a convicted offender. Crime and Punishment: The final unit focuses on how society controls offenders and the effectiveness of current systems. Students will consider the work of various agencies involved in the Criminal Justice System, such as the probation and prison service, and debate whether our approach to punishment is working. This course is ideal for students with an interest in law, criminology, and sociology, and it provides an excellent foundation for careers in the legal profession, law enforcement, or social services.

Our School History 1/1 Some of these images have been enhanced using AI to improve their quality for the website. King Edward VI High School was created from two successful Stafford schools. The Free Grammar School of King Edward VI was first established in Stafford in 1550 to provide free education to young boys. In 1862 a new building was erected for the school on Newport Road and would serve as the home of the boys' grammar school for over 100 years. Stafford Girls' High School was established in 1907 as a grammar school for girls and was based at The Oval, just off the Lichfield Road, with some accommodation for students at The Hough Cottage (now at The Hough Retail Park). The school later moved to a new site off West Way, close to Stafford Castle; the modern home of King Edward VI High School. In 1976 King Edward VI Grammar School and Stafford Girls' High School were officially amalgamated to create a comprehensive off West Way. The old King Edward VI building on Newport Road remained in education hands and was turned over to Chetwynd Middle School (until 1988) before later becoming known as the Chetwynd Centre, home of the Stafford Collegiate, where many Post-16 subjects were taught as part of an agreement between the Stafford secondary schools and Stafford College of Further Education. This itself closed in 2017. The old girls' school buildings on The Oval also remained in education hands, later becoming an art college before being converted into residential apartments. Education in Stafford In the 1970s, education in Stafford moved to a three-tier system, leading to the creation of middle schools and first schools. This system was abandoned in 1988. Flash Ley Middle School became Flash Ley Community Primary School Holmcroft Middle School became Tillington Manor Primary School Highfield Grove became The Grove Primary School and later Rowley Park Academy Eccleshall Middle School became Bishop Lonsdale CofE Academy Heron Brook Middle School became Gnosall St. Lawrence Church of England (C) Primary Academy Broadacres Middle School became St. Peter's CE Primary School, Hixon Riverway Middle School became council offices Kingston Middle School became home to the Staffordshire Education Department and today is now the new home of St. Leonard's Primary School The boys' school had the Latin motto "Incepta Persequor" , which loosely translates as "To finish well what's well begun".
