Politics is amongst the last subjects to move to a new linear two-year course in 2017. As currently stands both Edexcel and AQA who provide A Level Politics courses are waiting for their courses to be accredited by Ofqual. Without a final specification, we have yet to choose which course we will follow, however, both as stand in their draft format are broadly the same. • Politics is a subject that few people understand. It is contemporary. It is a new subject that you will not have studied before. You will stand out from the crowd as someone who knows what is going on. You will be able to make sense of the news, understand and be able to discuss current affairs, and you will have a much better understanding of the way the country works than most. • Politics at A Level teaches you skills like debating, information analysis, structured writing, data analysis and research. Your vocabulary will also improve. All these skills are useful in the job market. Potential careers include law, journalism, accountancy, writing, publishing and of course, politics. • We live in a democracy and voters must understand the options they have and the consequences of their decisions. It is also essential to know your rights and responsibilities. If you are opinionated about the way the government works and would like to be able to discuss and understand alternatives, this is the perfect place to start.
Candidates will need a minimum of six Grade 6s or above at GCSE and will preferably have Grade 7 at GCSE in the subjects they wish to study at A Level. Students wishing to study Mathematics will require a Grade 8 or 9. For Biology or English Grade 7 will be required. We will also require a minimum of Grade 5 in both English and Mathematics. Where a subject is new at A Level, students will be required to achieve Grade 7 or Grade 6 in related subjects, reflecting the skills required for success in these courses. We require students to have a grade B or above in GCSE English. We prefer students to have studied GCSE History and achieved B or above in this subject.
