Politics is a popular Sixth Form choice at Walthamstow Hall and the Edexcel A Level course offers students the opportunity to get a really broad range of political knowledge. You will investigate how people and politics interact and will reflect on the demands of a truly modern and evolving political environment in the UK and USA. You will learn and develop your own opinions about how effective political parties are in British democracy, how far the media controls the political debate, why people vote as they do, to what extent your civil rights are protected by the Supreme Court, what makes a successful Prime Minister and if Parliament has too much or too little power. These are precisely the issues that are debated day in and day out across the country. By the end of the course, you will certainly feel more than able to add your voice to the discussion!
