Economics is concerned with market forces, supply and demand and government intervention. Exchange rates, imports and exports, inflation, unemployment, development and government policy are all discussed. Pupils who have a genuine interest in current national and international affairs will find the course stimulating. Economics is a contemporary subject, rooted in what is happening in the UK and the world today and it will suit those who have an interest in politics and reading the newspapers. It provides an excellent background for pupils considering careers in business, banking, accountancy, law or politics, as well as offering an insight into psychology and sociology because it draws on a wide range of skills.
To embark on A-levels or a BTEC pupils should have five grades 6 (b) in GCSE/IGCSE and at least grade 4 (OR C) in Mathematics and English in exceptional circumstances the Head Master may allow pupils to join the sixth form without achieving this hurdle as long as motivation can be guaranteed. Such an arrangement be reviewed termly. We strongly recommend pupils start A-levels having achieved a grade 7(or A) GCSE/IGCSE in each of the subjects they have chosen, or in subjects similar to those they have chosen. In addition, pupils should not start Mathematics or a Science A-level Without having achieved a grade 7(or A) in Mathematics
