Pupils who choose Economics work in an intellectually-rich environment that inspires them to be academically ambitious and encourages independent study. The course enables them to ‘think like economists’ and to appreciate the difficulties involved in the choices and trade-offs facing individuals and societies. Pupils learn how to test economic theories and to evaluate policies from a range of viewpoints and perspectives. This helps them to develop an awareness and understanding of current issues and to employ information from a wide variety of sources, preparing them for study at higher levels.
Admission to the school is a conditional place based on achieving a minimum of 6x6 grade passes at GCSE; this is a minimum entry requirement and higher grades might be necessary in intended A Level subjects, namely the Sciences and Maths.
Assessment for the full A level is by three written exam papers, at the end of the second year. Several practice and ‘mock’ examinations take place during the two-year course.
