To teach the Edexcel A Level I have created 125 lessons for UK Politics, based on the model of one teacher (easily adapted for two). These lessons go beyond the minimum requirements of the specification (e.g. studying more pressure groups, more elections, more minor parties and more prime ministers than required) and include:

LIST OF MATERIALS IN THE FULL 125 LESSONS ACROSS TOPIC BUNDLES
Between 2 and 4 homeworks set per week;
16 assessment opportunities (8 in class, 8 as homework);
An exam technique sheet;
8 substantial knowledge tests, each out of 100 marks;
Further reading integrated (although you will need to purchase the relevant books yourself).

The core textbook for students to use is UK Government and Politics for AS/A-Level, 5th ed. by Philip Lynch, Paul Fairclough and Toby Cooper. I recommend buying enough for all students.

On rare occasions, activities will reference the Pearson textbook. If you wish to do these activities, this book is Edexcel GCSE Politics AS and A-Level Student Book and eBook - worth snapping up a copy of this also.

Further reading homeworks make use of the following books (all easily found on Amazon and not expensive): UK Politics Annual Update 2020, UK Politics Annual Update 2019, UK Government & Politics Annual Update 2018, UK Government & Politics Annual Update 2017, Isabel Hardman’s Why We Get the Wrong Politicians and Steve Richards’ The Prime Ministers: Reflections on Leadership from Wilson to May.
