What the college says
Psychology is an exciting subjec to learn at Ormiston Bushfield Academy. We uncover the depths of the human mind and encourage students to experiment often in areas such as human memory, stress and social influence. We discuss how the brain controls everything whether it is the physical workings of the brain or the cognitive components of the mind that dictate our actions. Our students are enthusiastic about the discussions and debates that take place about why we behave the way we do and are eager to explain the behaviour of their family, friends and favourite film/TV characters!
