What are lessons like in this subject?
In Economics lessons you will examine the principles and models of economics through real life examples from recent UK and world events, as well as everyday application from your own experiences, such as what affected your decision to buy a particular product, or to choose a certain career path.
We use a combination of individual, paired and group work to develop your analysis and evaluation skills, through tasks such as responding to exam questions, debates, complex problem solving of economic problems, and simulations.
We will have trips to local businesses to see how they are affected by economic changes and have visits from guest speakers from industry and financial institutions who will explain their responses to economic policy changes.
We have teaching classrooms and IT suites and we will use Microsoft Teams as a library for all teaching resources as well as setting and collecting independent work.
