Government and Politics

Entry Requirements

Students considering transfer to King’s Sixth Form are required to meet the entry requirements of an average of grade 6 or higher across eight GCSE subjects, with a minimum of a grade 5 in both Mathematics and English Language (university matriculation requirements). Most subjects recommend a grade 7 - 9 in a subject to be studied at A Level, and this is compulsory for Mathematics and Science subjects. In addition, subjects with a large mathematical content, such as Economics, require a minimum of grade 7 in Mathematics. No prior knowledge of politics is required. Students should have reached grade 6 (or above) in GCSE History, English and other similar subjects and may begin the subject by agreement with the Head of Department.
