Politics is offered at A-Level and is a vibrant and fascinating subject taught by a team of passionate, creative individuals. Students learn to understand the current debates and issues facing our politicians. They’ll be encouraged to engage in these debates and to understand the cut and thrust of political life and how people are politically empowered.  Through their studies they will achieve a clear understanding of two political systems (UK and US) as well as the political ideologies that underpin them. They will also study feminism as a political idea.
