What Teachers Say
Trusted by Heads of Politics at leading schools across the UK.
Politics Online contains numerous examples and detailed case studies, which we know are vital to exam success. Pupils can use the examples when completing class tasks and answering exam-style questions. The examples are up to date and continuously updated. This really is invaluable as one of the challenges of being a Politics teacher, and pupil, is keeping up to date with all the relevant UK and US political events.
Dr Emma KilheeneyHead of Politics, The Manchester Grammar School
We've been using Politics Online from the moment it went live and the obvious benefit to teachers and pupils is the 'live' nature of the material, with case studies updated regularly. Our pupils can subscribe knowing that not only will they get detailed content across all areas of the A level syllabus but they'll have the latest examples and evidence alongside the theory and background, as well as excellent technique advice.
Mr Jamie ReynoldsHead of Politics, Lancaster Royal Grammar School
The Politics Online newsletter is a gateway for our students to engage in discourse and debate through enriching exposure of major news stories shaping the national and international political landscape in real time. The digestible format of the newsletter and the careful selection of the news stories makes it a relished moment of learning each week. A firm favourite for all!
