Politics is offered as a subject in the Sixth Form and we teach the AQA specification at A Level.
We explore both British and American politics in depth before undertaking a comparative study of the two political systems. We also examine a broad range of ideologies from liberalism to anarchism. The subject is popular at A Level with many girls opting to study Politics (or a closely related subject) at university.
