Business, enterprise and careers are studied across the curriculum and particularly within the Life Skills Key Stage 4 enrichment programme
As well as providing a fascinating insight into the modern world of commerce and trade, Economics is a challenging as well as a very valuable A Level as it requires students to develop and demonstrate proficiency in a whole range of skills. A Level Economics requires students to have the ability to write essays, analyse information, manipulate numerical data, understand graphs and master basic algebra. It is thus a highly valued academic qualification. Economics combines well with virtually any subject, but especially Mathematics, Government & Politics and History.
Our approach to Economics is to apply economic theory to support analysis of current economic problems and issues, and encourage students to appreciate the interrelationships between microeconomics and macroeconomics. Students develop the knowledge and skills needed to understand and analyse data, think critically about issues and make informed decisions. They will also build upon their quantitative skills and appreciate that, when evaluating arguments, both qualitative and quantitative evidence are important.
