Economics

Course summary

Economics tackles these sorts of questions by analysing how best to allocate scarce resources among unlimited wants. We study both Macro and Microeconomics at AS level and A-level. We frequently refer to current news stories to emphasise the importance of Economics and to illustrate that it is at the heart of all government policy and decision making. If you would like to understand what is going on in the world you live in – study Economics! Economics is a challenging but fascinating subject with varied classroom activities. Lessons can be teacher-led or student-led and we encourage students to investigate and seek out information for themselves. Students will be expected to assess their own performance and on occasion their classmates and peers, as well as completing weekly teacher marked assessments.
