A-level economics will give you an excellent understanding of how economies allocate their scarce resources to meet the needs and wants of their citizens. You will develop a greater understanding of the economic problems which face individuals, companies and governments on a local, national and global level and the alternative ways these problems can be resolved. You will investigate microeconomic topics such as how individual decisions impact economic outcomes, the importance of competition, how markets operate and why they fail and how the distribution of income and wealth is affected. Additionally, you will study macroeconomics, looking at the ‘big picture’ of how our national economy fits into the global context, the global impact of financial markets and monetary policy and the operation of the international economy.
To be considered for a place in our Sixth Form you will need a minimum of six GCSEs at grade 6 or above, with a minimum of a Grade 6 or 7 in the subjects you wish to study at A-Level. You must have at least Grade 7 to study A Level Maths and/or Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics). Sixth Form entry is also based on an interview with the Headmaster, a school reference and academic reports from your current school.
At the end of the two-year course, you will sit three two-hour written exams. Each exam will be worth one-third of the A-level. Paper one will cover markets and market failure, paper two will cover the national and international economy and paper three will draw on material from the whole course.
