‘BREXIT’, the state of the NHS, Trump and North Korea…politics has never been out of the news, but now the problems it confronts (and gives rise to) seem more pressing than ever. Politics A level allows pupils to understand how far the political system can respond to these challenges, and why it seems to fail as often as it does. The subject is fascinating, relevant and contemporary and allows you to develop valuable transferable skills. If you are interested in the challenges of the 21st century, enjoy a debate and like to form your own opinions, Politics is an excellent choice at A level. The bi-annual trip to the US is a fantastic opportunity to put your studies into context, whilst there are also visits to the Houses of Parliament and the Supreme Court.
Passes in a minimum of six subjects at GCSE (Grade B or above or Grade 6 on the number grading scheme). There is a minimum requirement of 40 points accrued across the six highest GCSE grades to enter the Sixth Form at Croydon High. Grade 6 in English or one of the Humanities

The course is assessed solely through three examinations at the end of the second year and there is no coursework element.
