What the college says

People like to offer their own explanations as to why individuals behave the way that they do. The mind is such a complex entity that we are naturally driven to deepen our understanding of the behaviours of both ourselves and of those around us! The study of Psychology allows us to broaden this knowledge of our internal processes and related behaviour, beyond the realms of mere speculation and ‘guesswork’. Psychology is, by definition, the scientific study of the mind and behaviour and Psychology therefore aims to explain human and animal behaviour through using scientific theory and research. Learners who elect to study A Level Psychology at Isaac Newton Academy can expect to be taught fascinating psychological theories of behaviour and will be encouraged to critically analyse these theories and their respective strengths and limitations. Learners will then extend their knowledge beyond the classroom to suggest practical uses of how psychological theory can be applied to improve the quality of life at both a societal and individual level. Studying A Level Psychology will also enable learners to develop various transferable skills such as analysis, evaluation, numeracy and literacy that can be utilised in many Humanities and Science based subjects. Consequently, Psychology at Isaac Newton Academy will equip learners with the skills needed for success not only at A Level but also at university and beyond.
