An interest in current affairs or at least contemporary history does no harm in the study of Politics. However, learning how politics works is in many ways more like Business, considering how organisations, this time the government rather than the firm, operate both internally and how they relate to the external environment of electors, pressure groups and political ideologies. The study of the British and American political systems in the A Level and popular movements in the IB ultimately seeks to compare how real life experiences match up to the larger abstract philosophical ideas of democracy, freedom and justice.
For automatic entry into the Sixth Form a minimum of eight grade Bs (6 point average) at IGCSE/GCSE is required. If students fall short of this mark by gaining some C grades, an equivalent number of higher grades in other subjects may be acceptable. Most of our pupils work towards achieving the IB Diploma or three A Level subjects. Slightly above the eight B grade hurdle and certainly below it, a different programme of study may be more appropriate and each case will be considered individually. Ideally pupils will gain at least a grade A (7 points) at IGCSE/GCSE in a subject (or a related subject) they wish to study at IB Higher Level or for A Level, and certainly they should not score less than a B grade. For Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages and the Sciences, A grades (7 points) at GCSE or IGCSE are expected.
