Sarra Jenkins

Sarra has over two decades of experience teaching A Level Politics to thousands of students and has an absolute passion for this evolving and dynamic subject that changes daily!

She has been an examiner for over a decade, and continues to work currently as a senior examiner. She was a part of the team that wrote the Edexcel 2017 Politics Specification and delivers national conferences supporting students and teachers of A Level Politics. She has written extensively, writing numerous textbooks and revision guides.

Sarra continues to be a classroom teacher of Politics currently, but has previously been an Assistant Head (Head of Sixth Form), and held multiple middle leadership roles prior to this.

Beyond Politics, Sarra is a qualified careers adviser and loves supporting students through making post-16 and post-18 choices.

“Politics is the most dynamic subject a student can study; I’ve taught lessons in the morning that have been wrong by the afternoon due to a cabinet reshuffle…what could be more fun than that?!”
