Economics

Entry Requirements

The entrance criteria for the Sixth Form at Merchant Taylors' are simple: • We expect you to have excelled in your GCSE examinations this summer, especially in the subjects you intend to take at A Level. • We expect you to have worked hard and made a positive contribution throughout your time here. Your attitude must be one of wholehearted engagement with school life. • We expect you to make sensible and informed choices as to what to study for the Sixth Form. These choices need to reflect your abilities and need to have been agreed by your Tutor, the relevant Heads of Department, the Head of Middle School, the Deputy Head (Academic) and the Head Master. Although students can do well in A Level Economics without it, a good pass in A Level Mathematics is an essential requirement for many Economics degree courses (and an A* necessary for the top universities). If you think you might wish to study Economics at university, we strongly recommend taking A Level Mathematics too.
