Government & Politics (Sixth Form) The History department also teaches AS and A2 level Government and Politics. We think that it is essential that every girl should have the opportunity to understand the political system under which we all live and we wish to encourage “active citizenship”. We follow the Edexcel specification, for which the web address is: www.edexcel.com/quals/gce/gce08/gov

At AS the girls study “People and Politics”: democracy & political participation, parties, elections and pressure groups; and “Governing the UK”: constitution, parliament, executive and the judiciary. At A2 we choose to do political ideologies such as liberalism, socialism and conservatism as well as anarchism, feminism and ecologism.
