No matter whether the UK Government makes you feel angry or reassured, it is worth having knowledge of how an elected government works. This A level will give you the knowledge to understand how government works in the UK, Europe and the USA. There has never been a better time to study Politics. Recent controversies involving the actions of UK politicians such as ‘Partygate’ and lobbying scandals and, further afield, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, have reawakened people’s interest in politics and this is something we wish to harness at Farnborough Hill. What skills or background knowledge will be needed? Apart from the obvious need for hard work, the key qualities needed for success in Politics are; a capacity to combine sound knowledge and understanding with good analytical and evaluative skills, an enjoyment of political debate and a genuine interest in current affairs.
The requirements for entry to the Sixth Form are six good grades (9 - 6) at GCSE unless there are extenuating circumstances. Given the demands of A-level study, you should have attained at least a grade 7 in the subjects you wish to study at A level (or ideally a grade 9 in Mathematics if you wish to study Further Mathematics). Throughout Year 11 you are given a great deal of guidance to select the course of study that best suits your academic needs and career aspirations.
