What the college says

A level Government and Politics is a subject designed for students who want to make a real difference to the world around them. Across the two years we explore personal political philosophy, the inner workings of government and the ever-changing relationship between politicians and the public. Students quickly come to appreciate that every aspect of their lives is shaped by decisions taken at Westminster and that a deep understanding of the political process provides them with genuine power to influence and affect these choices. The subject is also uniquely placed to help young people formulate their own political viewpoints which will guide their actions and opinions throughout their adult lives.
