As a Sixth Form Economics student here at Bridgewater School, you’ll look at the fundamental forces which affect our loves such as employment, prices, international trade and poverty. Economists are often in healthy debate with each other over these issues and it is this controversy which makes Economics so lively and interesting. It also allows you the opportunity to make your own judgments and form your own opinions. There are several definitions of economics, with each trying to encapsulate the essence of the subject. However, most textbooks seem to agree that economics concerns the allocation of society’s scarce resources amongst the many alternative uses to which they could be put.
Our admission requirement is a minimum of five GCSEs graded 4 and above, including English and Mathematics. In addition, students will normally be expected to obtain a grade of 6 or higher in their chosen subjects. The option of taking a subject at A Level without a GCSE or equivalent level qualification can be discussed on an individual basis.
There are three exams at the end of Year 13.
