ECONOMICS

Looking at how local and world events are shaped by pounds and pence (other currencies are available)

It’s been another interesting year for students of Economics. Both Year 12 & 13 students have been learning about the impacts of the Ukraine Russian conflict and what this means for the global economy as well as how it affects us here in the UK. Tied in with this, students have been learning about the causes and consequences of the ‘cost of living crisis’ and interesting questions have come up about how the Government could tackle this and what it means for the future? Should the government nationalise energy provision? Is this the UK’s chance to really invest in green energy? Is a 54% price cap for energy firms reasonable for the average worker?

Y13 students benefitted from a revision workshop which focused on exam skills from expert examiners while Y12 students visited the Bank of England Museum and City of London as a grand finale to their first year of study.
