The Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Advanced GCE in Economics A is structured into four themes and consists of three externally examined papers. Pupils build knowledge and understanding of core economic models and concepts in Themes 1 and 2, and then build on this and apply their knowledge to more complex concepts and models in Themes 3 and 4. Pupils will need to apply their knowledge and understanding to both familiar and unfamiliar contexts in the assessments and demonstrate an awareness of current economic events and policies.
In late January the Director of Admissions allocates House places. At this time as much account as possible is taken of any preference a pupil has stated. In June, three months prior to entry, pupils visit the College to meet with Heads of Department, Housemasters, key members of staff and the Guidance Department to discuss A-level choices and tertiary education options. In August GCSE results are sent to Marlborough. All candidates (Scholars included) must achieve at least a six-grade BS or six 6’s in their GCSEs including English and Mathematics (in practice, most successful candidates will get more GCSEs at considerably higher grades than these). In September pupils arrive to begin their education at Marlborough.
