ECONOMICS

Economics | Curriculum Intent

Our mission is to stimulate a life long passion for economics, by developing enquiring minds with unparalleled analytical tools to interpret the world around them. As global citizens they will understand all of the great challenges that face humanity. Economics is arguably the most powerful of the social sciences combining both creativity and rational thought. Our students will analyse and interpret data, build rational and logical arguments and provide clear, convincing judgements. As developing scholars our students will confidently use a wide range of mathematical skills, and balance these with strong communication, both written and verbal, to present holistic arguments. We will provide students with unparalleled economic tools, a lifelong thirst for knowledge and a greater understanding of the economic world around them.
