Politics is a living, breathing subject and in light of the Scottish referendum, the Brexit campaign and divisions within the Labour and Conservative parties, there has never been a better time to study Politics at A level! Politics offers students the opportunity to understand the events happening around you by studying people, politics and participation and the governance of modern Britain and through debate, discussion and disagreement you will shape your own views and opinions of the modern political landscape and your place within it. A level Politics offers transferable skills such as analytical and evaluative skills and the ability to select relevant material and construct and communicate arguments clearly and coherently. Such skills complement a wide range of A levels, particularly subjects such as Economics, History, Business and English. In fact, Politics complements most subjects because of its immediate relevance and focus on current affairs.
Each year, we are delighted to welcome new students into our Sixth Form. All prospective Sixth Form students from other schools can enjoy a taster day at Stafford Grammar School and have an interview with the Head of Sixth Form. Offers of entry into the Sixth Form are then conditional upon GCSE results. A place in the Sixth Form is conditional upon students gaining at least 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or equivalent, including at least a grade 4 in Mathematics and English Language. Often there will be a requirement of the minimum of a grade 6 or equivalent for those subjects that the student wishes to study at AS level. For AS Mathematics, students must have followed the Higher Tier course and gained at least a grade 7 or equivalent. Any offer is also conditional upon a successful application including an interview and a satisfactory reference from the student’s current school. Almost everyone in the Lower Sixth Form studies four AS levels and the majority go on to study three A-level courses. Some students do continue with four A-levels, but this is dependent on academic and career aims.
