A Level Politics is so exciting to study, it is constantly changing and always current. While we don't expect you to have any prior knowledge of politics to study this course, an interest is really helpful. This transition work will help to ensure everyone starting the course has the same basic understanding and give you an opportunity to complete some A level standard work.
If you have any questions about the work or would like to discuss the course in more detail, please don't hesitate to contact me at alex.edwards@hartlepoolsixth.ac.uk
