Recent events have highlighted how Politics affects everybody’s lives. From the Brexit negotiations to the decisions taken in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Politics feels as relevant as ever. What are the implications of the vote to leave the European Union, after a membership of over forty years? Will the government be able to help the UK recover after the end of the coronavirus lockdown? What impact will the Black Lives Matter movement have on both US and UK politics? If you are interested in these questions, then Politics at A Level could be for you. The course looks at how people are politically represented in Britain, and how far they participate in politics. We consider how government works – for example, how does parliament work, and how well does it represent people’s interests? What exactly is the British constitution, and does it need to be reformed? The course covers voter behaviour, political history and the role of the media. We will examine the key ideas and thinkers who have shaped the modern world, including the ideologies of conservatism, socialism and liberalism. We currently study American politics alongside British politics, which allows us to compare and contrast the two political systems. With a changing political landscape evident in the USA with the rise of populist leaders such as Donald Trump, the subject has never been so absorbing. You will have the opportunity to play a leading role in the school’s Politics Societies. Breakfast Politics club runs for A Level students every Friday morning. Politics students often involve themselves in the wide range of Debating and Public Speaking events that the school is involved in. The best students of Politics are inquisitive, critical learners who are determined to see beneath the surface of daily headlines to analyse how politics works in the UK and USA.
