Politics at A Level consists of UK Politics and Government, US Government and Politics, a comparative study of the UK and US, core ideologies and an optional ideology. Uniquely, we offer students the opportunity to choose their own optional ideology from a choice of anarchism, ecologism, feminism, multiculturalism and nationalism as a guided research project in Year 12. It is assessed by essays and some shorter questions, some of which have stimulus material. In Years 12 and 13, students will study the following: • Government of the UK to include: the Prime Minister and Cabinet, Parliament, the UK Supreme Court and the UK constitution. • Political participation in the UK to include: democracy and participation, elections and voting and political parties. • Political ideas to include: Liberalism, Conservatism, Socialism and one other, from your choice of Multiculturalism, Feminism, Nationalism, Ecologism or Anarchism. • Comparative government and politics of the USA to include: the US Constitution, Congress, the President, the Supreme Court, Democracy and participation and civil rights.
