What the college says

A Level Politics is an exciting new area of study for students at Bishop Laney. If you are interested in current affairs, the news, and the current political landscape then you are already halfway there! Politics in modern society is constantly changing, with discussions and debates between political parties evolving by the day. You may also be interested in the skills Politics gives you. If you enjoy debate, discussion and constructive arguing then this course will allow you to develop those skills. You might also be someone who likes looking deeper into statements, testing facts and noticing discrepancies. Many students will come into A-level politics without any previous learning or knowledge of the subject, but clear expression, the ability to be precise, provide clarity alongside a willingness to listen and discuss will be essential skills within Government and Politics.
