Government and Politics

Course summary

The Politics A level is a linear course which is implemented across the federation. The Edexcel specification that we follow reflects the demands of a modern and evolving political environment in the UK and around the world. We believe it is a qualification that will enable our students to apply themselves and give them the skills to succeed. During Year 12, students will study UK politics and UK government along with four political ideologies. This will give them a set of core knowledge and understanding of politics. Students will then develop this knowledge and understanding in Year 13 and study the government and politics of the USA.
