📢 KS5 Psychology Trip – Freud Museum & South Hampstead High School 🧠 On 11th March, our KS5 Psychology students had an incredible opportunity to visit the Freud Museum and South Hampstead High School! 🏛️ At the Freud Museum, students explored the former home of Sigmund Freud, where he lived after fleeing Vienna due to Nazi persecution. They also learned about Anna Freud’s pioneering work in child psychoanalysis. A highlight of the visit was an insightful talk on Schizophrenia and the Psychodynamic Approach. 🎓 Afterward, our students were warmly welcomed at South Hampstead High School, where their Psychology department shared findings from their independent research projects—something our own students will be undertaking in the summer term! A fantastic day of learning, inspiration, and collaboration! 👏🔬📝 #PsychologyTrip #FreudMuseum #PsychodynamicApproach #IndependentResearch #SixthFormExperience #StudentCollaboration #FinchleyPsychology #fchslondon
