Our Politics curriculum is designed to inspire students to become informed, critical, and active citizens who confidently engage with the political systems shaping their lives. Through a broad and balanced programme of study, learners develop deep, substantive knowledge of political structures, frameworks, and ideas. The curriculum not only meets the requirements of the examination specification but also fosters essential skills in analysis, evaluation, debate, and persuasive writing. Students are encouraged to think independently and critically assess the political events and issues that influence their world today.
Students will gain a clear understanding of how democracy functions, how power is distributed, and how accountability and representation operate across different political systems. They will explore the origins and evolution of key political ideas, evaluating their relevance and appropriateness in the modern world.
