The Politics department at Nottingham High is totally committed, in all senses, to instilling an interest in, broad knowledge of, and engagement with, the political world around them. Although public exam success remains of primary importance – demonstrated in the impressive past performance of A Level Politics candidates – the department is dedicated to exposing the students to the best that has been thought and said in the subject. A popular subject within the school compatible with most subjects, Nottinghamians complement Politics with English Literature, Mathematics, Geography, Economics, History, and Religious Studies. Learning beyond the confines of the syllabus is essential in creating young people endowed with curiosity, critical thinking, and an ability to formulate knowledgeable and interesting arguments. Our highly motivated, experienced, and talented teachers are subject experts, passionate about the subject they teach, and they encourage and support all pupils regardless of their ability or prior attainment to fulfil their potential. The department upholds high expectations in lessons, and this is well supported by well-structured, engaging, and purposeful lessons.
Joining the Sixth Form is by interview and on the basis of academic achievement at GCSE. Applicants are invited to interview following a report from their current school indicating their predicted GCSE grades. The likely offer made, following a successful interview, will be conditional on a minimum of 5 A / 7 grades, with A / 7 grades in the subjects to be taken in the Sixth Form.
