Government & Politics

Key stage content

Open each section to read the full curriculum outline for that key stage.

In Politics we aim to engage pupils with the world around them and equip them to participate in political discourse. We aim for them to do as well as they can in the A level exam; with a focus on student led learning; debate; critical thinking and an emphasis on constantly engaging with current events. We hope that by inculcating an interest in the subject, and by developing the skills aforementioned, pupils will explore careers in the public sector, policy formation, law, academia and perhaps even seek public office themselves. In Year 12 we study UK Government and Politics and in Year 13 we study US Politics.
