As Politics is a subject that is ‘new’ at A level, students often don’t know much about it to begin with but usually end up loving it! Typically, well over half of A level Politics students at STAHS go on to study the subject at university. Great trips to Parliament and the UK Supreme Court and to Washington DC enliven the learning, as does discussion of current affairs and topical issues. The subject rewards independent learning such as reading online newspapers and watching TV news and current affairs shows and online videos. In Politics, you will find enthusiastic, inspirational and experienced teachers dedicated to maximising your achievement and your enjoyment of the subject. Excellent results are achieved through expert knowledge of the subject and, in particular, of the requirements of the examination.
We require external students joining STAHS to achieve a minimum of grade 6 in Maths and in English, alongside the grade requirements in relevant GCSEs for their chosen A levels. Grade 7 or above in an essay-based subject (eg English, History, Religious Studies).
