I created this guide over the summer to provide students of A level with the foundational knowledge of sociology. It would benefit new teachers of sociology, parents and carers, students, ITT’s and departments for CPD. Many students start the A level with no prior knowledge of the topic and often say they picked it because ‘it sounded interesting’. Underestimating the depths of the course and the heaviness of the theoretical views. It includes everything you must know before you embark on the topics of the A level specification. I have included activities where possible and written this in the most student friendly way. I was inspired by many authors and writers but have created this book from scratch.

A tool to help educators, ITT’s, new to AQA GCSE Sociology specification teachers, pupils, parents and carers. Use in lessons, for planning, for taster days/open evenings, to help parents and carers understand homework and revision tool. I usually print these as exam booklets A3 folded and stapled to A4 or I upload a digital copy to google classroom.
