Politics is a stimulating, contemporary subject which gives students valuable insights into British and Global Politics. Political issues influence all aspects of our lives and students are encouraged to develop a keen interest in the way power operates. As a rigorous academic subject, Politics enables students to adopt those skills necessary to succeed at university and in later life. We visit the Westminster Parliament, the local law courts and hold regular mock parliaments in class. We host regular talks with speakers from the political arena providing an opportunity for students to gain an insight into the world of government and politics, and debate contemporary political issues.
Candidates are expected to achieve Grade 7 or above in subjects they wish to take at A Level, or, for subjects not previously studied, a 7 in facilitating subjects. A list of these can be found here. All candidates will take two written general papers, one Maths related and one essay writing based, a computer based thinking skills assessment and have an academic interview, with subject specific staff.
