Economics enlightens you about how and why resources are distributed, how money works across the world and why things cost what they do. There are overlaps with Finance, Business, Politics and Geography – therefore it ‘sits’ well as a companion subject to your other A-Levels. Economics relates to every aspect of our lives, from the decisions we make as individuals or families to the structures created by government and firms. The economic way of thinking can help us make better choices. Studying an Economics A-Level at Wisbech Grammar School will equip you with the skills to explain who will get what, how they will get it and why. It is an engaging subject that can take you beyond the confines of school and out into the wider world.
Academic assessment will be based on GCSE predictions and results. Pupils wishing to enter the 6th Form to study A-levels or BTECs should have a minimum of 7 GCSEs, including English and Mathematics, at levels 5 or above and at least three, usually in the subjects to be studied, at level 6 or above. Pupils with lower grades may still be offered a place in the 6th Form to study alternatives to A-levels dependent upon individual areas of expertise and aptitude.
You will be assessed through three examinations, using a range of different question styles. It is a subject which will develop your skills which you can then pursue further by studying Economics at university or transfer those skills developed in other pathways.
