Economics is exciting and increasingly relevant in a global environment. Throughout this course you will study topics that are wide ranging, such as the impact of Brexit and the recent Covid pandemic on businesses and the economy. We will also explore the impacts of economic shocks such as the ongoing cost of living crisis and more recently, the impact of the war between Russia and Ukraine on the global economy. The Edexcel specification is a two year course, divided into the study of both microeconomics and macroeconomics. It focuses on key themes and issues in economics. Paper 1: Markets and Business Behaviour Paper 2: The National and Global Economy Paper 3: Microeconomics and Macroeconomics
In addition to passing our Entrance Examinations, offers are conditional on achieving a minimum of six 9-6 grades at GCSE (or equivalent), including in the subjects to be studied at A Level, where applicable: please see individual subject entry grades on pages 13-61 for subject-specific entry requirements. Girls without these grades may be admitted subject to discussion with the Senior Deputy Head, Director of Sixth Form and the Head. Most of our Sixth Formers follow a 3 A Level programme. Students who would benefit from the opportunity for further stretch and variety are supported to follow a 4 A Level programme. Alongside their 3 or 4 A Levels, girls will also have the opportunity to complete the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) which equates to half an A Level.
