At a fundamental level, Politics is about the study of power. Who holds it? How did they acquire it? How is it legitimised and held accountable? What principles guide those who wield it? To answer these, we introduce a range of relevant and contemporary political ideas, institutions, key thinkers, processes and issues, in the UK, the USA, and in our political past. The remarkable changes and events of recent years, be that Trumpism in the USA, or Brexit in the UK, are the landscape that we introduce students to, and there has never been a more exciting time to study the subject.
There are no specific entry requirements for A Level Politics. However, an interest in current affairs, perhaps previously explored in other humanities subjects (English, Geography, History, Religious Studies) is an advantage.
3 x 2 hour written papers: 84 marks each. Extended written responses: 12 marks, 24 and 30 mark essays. Assessment Objective 1: Knowledge and Understanding. Assessment Objective 2: Analysis. Assessment Objective 3: Evaluation.
