Politics is an ideal course for those with a keen interest in the world around them, a desire to engage in informed debate and an openness about their own and others’ views. The A Level course aims to provide students with a general introduction to the political and governmental processes of the UK and USA and core political principles such as conservatism and socialism. In Year 12 students will be looking at issues such as the extent to which the UK has a democratic system, how the ideologies of the main political parties differ and whether it is time for the re to be a written UK constitution. In Year 13 students compare and contrast UK systems with those of the USA, considering the impact of race and a presidential system on the workings of politics.
5 GCSE Grade 5s including English Language and Mathematics. Although prior study of Politics is not required, students are expected to have an interest in current affairs.
