Politics department
We are very passionate about developing a genuine love of political ideas in our learners. We often push our students towards extracurricular readings and activities. We believe that all learners can be successful as long as they cultivate the correct learning behaviours and essay structures.
We are proud that many of our students go onto study politics & IR at university and move into political careers. One of our greatest departmental successes is helping support young people into politics straight from college. Several of our students have gone directly into the civil service, working in the Cabinet Office, Treasury and Department of Business and Trade.
You should join the team if you are interested in encouraging our learners understand the world in new and innovative ways. If you are excited about teaching young people to work hard and become more engaged this might be the role for you.
