The course involves the study of Politics today in the UK: how the UK is governed and what powers politicians have over our lives. We focus on the role of the media and on how citizens respond to politics, either through involvement in political parties or pressure groups, by voting or even being alienated from society. We look at some of the main ideas that inform political action, and we undertake a comparative topic with politics in the USA.
A minimum of 5 GCSE subjects at grade 5, including Grade 5 in GCSE English.
All components will be assessed through three equally weighted 2 hour examinations at the end of Year 13.
