Gaining a better understanding of the causes and consequences of recent economic events has become essential to be able to participate in the decisions we make as a society. Studying A-level Economics at CLSG provides an excellent vehicle to achieve this. Lessons are mainly discussion-based and focus on using relevant and exciting examples to gain clarity and depth of knowledge. Students develop the ability to form their own opinions using economic theory with logical analysis while being given extensive support in a non-judgmental environment. They are encouraged to read articles in newspapers and journals so that they can engage with current controversies. We follow Edexcel’s A-level course. Students will sit at the A level in year 13. A level Theme 1: Introduction to Markets & Market Failure Theme 2: The UK economy – performance & Policies Theme 3: Business behaviour and the labour market Theme 4: A Global Perspective
At least eight GCSEs or IGCSEs graded at 7 or above for entry to our sixth form in the subjects that you are taught at school. For students currently at CLSG, each subject has a standard entry requirement of Grade 7 at GCSE or IGCSE in that subject or a related subject as specified under each subject’s entry in this booklet. Economic analysis does involve mathematics, mainly calculating percentage change and graphical analysis of data. This therefore does not go beyond GCSE mathematics but candidates should be aware that if they intend to study Economics at university they are advised to study A-level mathematics alongside A-level Economics. Economics students at City are expected to have achieved a minimum of Grade 7 for GCSE mathematics.
