Sociology is a social science which can best be defined as the study of people in groups and the institutions in society. At RMGS Sociology is offered at Sixth Form level, however students are also introduced to it in Year 9.
Exam Results
In Sociology, we are very proud of our AS and A Level results. Students achieve excellent results, and have consistently fulfilled or exceeded their academic potential. For example, in 2006, 76% of AS students exceeded their predicted target minimum grade, and the remaining students achieved their target grade.
