This is a modern, dynamic and relevant subject, which focuses on the events of the last decade. It is an interesting mixture of current affairs, the more abstract field of Economic Theory and the role of specific institutions such as the EU, the World Bank, the MPC at the Bank of England, the IMF, the WTO, OAFC etc. Anyone studying the subject at Bradfield is not simply taught Economics but is expected to develop the skills of investigating, understanding, analysing, interpreting and evaluating the arguments put forward by economists and politicians. - What is the most efficient way to organise the world’s resources? - Why are some countries wealthier than others? - What does Brexit mean for the UK economy? - What sort of economic policies are being offered by different political parties? - Who wins and who loses from globalisation? - Are we likely to have higher living standards than our parents?
The following are required for entry into the Sixth Form: • A Headmaster’s or Headmistress’ reference from the pupil’s current school • Attainment of a satisfactory standard at the Assessment Day and Scholarship Examinations or Exhibition assessments, where appropriate • Six (I)GCSE passes at Grade B (6) or above, with a minimum of Grade C (5) in English Language and Mathematics
