Economics

Course summary

Economics is essentially the study of decision making at different levels and how the scarce resources of society are allocated. At Archbishop Tenison’s, Economics is studied at A level where we follow the AQA specification. The objective is to equip with the key economic skills and theories to enable them to analyse areas of the society in which they live at both a macro and micro level. Whilst we would like students to study the subject further after school, if we are able to provide them with a solid foundation in economics then it will enable students to have a more informed role in society together with an ability to understand things that will impact them in life such as inflation, exchange rates and taxation.
