Politics is a literary and discursive subject. It is lively, interesting and topical, and involves a detailed knowledge of current affairs and keeping up to date with contemporary political developments.

Students of A Level Politics are well informed about how important decisions which affect their lives are made and about what is going on in the world around them.

Politics is particularly useful for those considering careers in law, journalism, teaching, research, the media, the civil service or local and central government.

The Politics Society invites speakers into the school and gives pupils an insight into the real political world. There is lots of opportunity for debate and discussion.
