Government and Politics

Course summary

Politics is a new A-level that was introduced to Edgbaston High School in September 2021. The qualification has been designed so that it reflects the demands of a truly modern and evolving political environment in the UK and around the world, and Politics students will gain a detailed insight into the political systems, beliefs, and ideologies that are central to understanding the world we live in today. Politics is a fascinating subject for those with enquiring minds and who enjoy the buzz of political debate. The A-level will allow students who already have an active interest in Politics to broaden their understanding and study a subject that has real relevance in today's society.
