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.
Students do not need to have studied Politics at GCSE in order to take it at A-level. However, it is an intellectually demanding course and therefore we expect students to have gained a 7 or above in their English Language and Literature GCSEs. Another key requirement is that prospective students possess an active interest in Politics both inside and outside of the classroom. It is an expectation that Politics students keep up to date with current affairs by reading the news daily.
