Politics is always in the news and influences what we do in our everyday lives. In Year 12, we focus on UK Political systems such as Parliament. We attend workshops in the Palace of Westminster and visit the Supreme Court to help students understand how Parliament works. In Year 13 students study more global political ideologies, in particular, American political systems and how they compare with UK systems. Students learn how to sharpen their analytical skills which will be valuable in many different professions. Component 1: UK Politics and Core Political Ideas - Democracy, Political Parties, Electoral Systems and the Media, Conservatism, Liberalism, and Socialism. Component 2: UK Government and Optional Political Ideas - The Constitution, Parliament, and the Prime Minister. Students will answer one question from: - Anarchism - Ecologism - Feminism - Multiculturism and Nationalism Component 3: Comparative Politics - The US Constitution and Federalism, US Congress, US Presidency, US Supreme Court, Democracy and Participation and Civil Rights. After this course, our students have progressed onto a wide range of degree courses, most notably, Law. Other students have gone straight into vocational routes such as the Civil Service.
