This Social Mobility and Values bundle within the Stratification and Differentiation A Level Sociology unit (7192/2) provides students with a thorough and evaluative understanding of the extent to which individuals and groups can move between social classes, and how values around success, status, and opportunity influence these patterns. The PDF summary explains key types of mobility—intragenerational and intergenerational, vertical and horizontal—alongside sociological debates about whether Britain is an open or closed society. It explores how factors such as education, social capital, cultural capital, ethnicity, gender, and class background impact life chances and mobility outcomes.

The PowerPoint presentation presents these ideas through charts, mobility tables, theory-overview slides, and real-world case studies, helping students connect sociological theory to contemporary social trends. To develop strong analytical and exam-writing skills, the bundle includes connectives worksheets and skills-based activities such as mobility case analysis, class-background comparison tasks, and theory-application grids.

A dedicated podcast episode breaks down the myth vs. reality of meritocracy, challenges the idea of a level playing field, and discusses whether mobility is truly improving or becoming more restricted. The question bank includes short-answer and 20-mark essay questions with model responses, such as “Evaluate the view that social mobility in Britain is limited by class background." An interactive quiz reinforces key definitions, theories, and data in an engaging and student-friendly format.

Altogether, this bundle equips learners with the conceptual clarity and critical insight needed to examine one of the most socially relevant aspects of stratification—how status is gained, lost, or inherited in modern society.
