Sociology is unique in its recognition not only that societies shape us, but also that we shape our societies. This latter process is present in all societies and all human groups, but its especially central to democracy in which citizens are explicitly expected to participate in shaping their society. Indeed, without an informed and active citizenry, democracy withers and dies. Therefore it is important to the society as a whole as well as to the self-interest of individual citizens, that we all are afforded a sound understanding based on valid, reliable and systematic evidence.
Learn MoreIn history we aim to give students an informed understanding of key historic events and the skills needed to understand how the past has influenced the future. Spanning 15 centuries, we study events such as the Battle of Hastings, Black Death, Crusades, English Civil War, Industrial Revolution and World War One. Equipping students with a range of analytical skills for more in depth later study.
Learn MoreDrama is a very popular subject here at Abbeyfield School which gives students lots of opportunities to build self-confidence and develop co-operative skills. We support them in their development of creativity and provide the students with an understanding of the craft of drama.
Learn MoreProduct Design encourages students to design and manufacture creative and innovative products, using a range of materials such as paper and card, textiles, timber based materials, ferrous and nonferrous metals and electronic components. Students also develop a variety of manufacturing techniques, key problem solving skills and a good knowledge and understanding of materials technology, becoming responsible and creative designers.
