Welcome to
Politics

In the Politics Department we have three experienced A-level teachers. In our teaching we value critical thinking and analytical arguments, but above all we strive to infuse our students with passion for what goes on in the world around us. Politics is taught in mixed groups with boys from Abingdon School.
