Politics
Developing Independent Thinkers
We aim for Politics to be exciting at Bede’s because it is through debate, discussion and disagreement that our pupils shape their own views and opinions of the modern political landscape and their place within it.
Politics is not a subject that is neatly contained within the pages of a textbook. Bede’s pupils thrive because they are challenged to immerse themselves fully in the ever changing narrative of the day.

At the heart of our teaching is the desire to help pupils of politics to realise their potential – not only in exam scores – but also to become more politically aware and engaged with the world around them. This is why there is a constant emphasis in our teaching in encouraging the pupils to engage with current affairs.
