In the Economics course, we study both microeconomics – the study of markets and government interventions to correct market failure – and macroeconomics – looking at whole economy issues, such as growth, unemployment and inflation and considering the policy options available to governments to improve the standard of living. There is an international slant to the course, looking at how the economy trades and engages with the rest of the world and the economic development of low-income countries. Pupils learn to apply economic theory to the UK economy and to global economic problems, including climate change; there is a strong emphasis on relating economics to the real world. The course is contemporary, fresh and encourages pupils to have an economic perspective on their place in the world.
You should be expecting to gain an 8, 9 or A* at GCSE in any subjects you might take at A-level. We are also looking for pupils who are curious about the world around them, who ask questions and demand answers, and who have the drive and desire to learn beyond any exam.
