Politics
The study of Politics can cover many aspects of personal and social life. The enhancement as a subject will come not only from direct experience of politics at work – through political party meetings, local councils, Parliament and the European Parliament – but also though meeting trade union members and employers on their own ground in factories and other businesses.
Each Parliament or Assembly in the UK can be visited, with all of them having excellent schools visits programmes, while local MPs often will visit schools in order to engage in debates, especially with Sixth Form students.
Visiting government institutions will be high on Politics teachers’ agendas. These can be enhanced by visits to national record offices, like the National Archives at Kew or the National Archives of Scotland.
