What the college says

“We don’t always like politicians and the things that governments do... but the business of politics touches every aspect of our lives. And whilst we might criticise governments for some of their policies, it has to be better than having no government at all.” These are the opening words in AQA’s “Why choose Politics” booklet. However you may take exception to this or you may whole-heartedly agree, you may take the view that that you just don’t care! But you should!! Decisions are made in your name all the time, policies are developed and those policies put into practice but how can you affect those policies, should you or is politics something that should be left to an elitist group, those who may know better or are better placed than you or I! Or you think its clearly all a mess and there is nothing I can do! Politics at RR6 has grown in popularity with more and more students choosing it as a first choice subject with last year’s co-hort going on to study Politics at Cambridge and International relations at a number of prestigious universities. So join us and continue to grow the subject.
