Course summary

Students will be able to read about the current political affairs of the UK and the USA and be able to apply their knowledge and skills to gain an in-depth understanding of events and political processes. Importantly, students will be able to apply their learning to countries and governments not included in these studies and evaluate them in terms of western democratic principles. RECOMMENDED CRITERIA • Grade 6 in GCSE History/Geography/RS A willingness to read the newspaper, follow current events and the ability to understand both sides of a political argument in the context of the UK and the USA are needed. This provides examples to back up points made in assessment essays. Whilst the provided textbooks are good, strong knowledge of real-life politics adds a lot more detail.
