PoliticsOnline
Built by teachers, for students and their classrooms. Every component of the Edexcel specification, kept current with real politics, and written by the people who mark it.
After every election, reshuffle, Supreme Court ruling or new Act of Parliament, we update the relevant chapters, so the examples you revise are the ones examiners expect this year, not from five years ago.
Our writers have over 60 years' teaching, examining and tutoring experience between them, so we know what cuts to the core of a great political education.
Clear content, examples, graphics and ongoing support, plus structured courses and fresh political updates linked to the Edexcel spec.
The Politics Online team is responsive and interested in what our partner schools want and need. If you suggest something, and there is wider demand, we will integrate it into the platform.
Every component of the Edexcel A Level Politics specification, mapped to the exam and kept current with real politics.
Democracy and participation, political parties, electoral systems, voting behaviour, and the role of the media in politics.
The constitution, Parliament, the Prime Minister and executive, relationships between branches, and the Supreme Court and judiciary.
The US Constitution and federalism, Congress, the presidency, the Supreme Court and civil rights, plus comparative analysis with the UK.
Sovereignty and globalisation, global governance, human rights and the environment, power, regionalism and the EU.
Liberalism, conservatism and socialism, plus one of feminism, anarchism, nationalism, multiculturalism or ecologism.
Source questions, 24 and 30-mark essay technique, comparative essay practice, and synoptic links across all components.
Heads of Politics who use Politics Online with their classes, in their own words.
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, in 2025 is keeping up to date with all the relevant UK and US political events.
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.
