Economics A/AS Level

The department runs a highly popular course in Economics at AS and A level.
In teaching our students, we focus on trying to achieve four main objectives:

  • Enthusing them about the subject through the use of real world examples and different teaching methods;
  • Helping them to develop a disciplined approach to studying, both in lessons and in their own time;
  • Assisting them to achieve the highest grade that they are capable of; and
  • Helping them to develop some of the key skills that they will need at the next stage of their academic career.

The teachers have a genuine passion for their subjects. They relish the opportunity to nurture the interest of their students. With an atmosphere of enthusiasm, combined with a disciplined approach to studying, a very high level of success is achieved with respect to our four main objectives.
