Curriculum

Students can choose Economics A-Level (Edexcel) as an option in Year 12.

The Economics Curriculum at Ashmole Academy is underpinned by five subject specific curriculum pillars:

These pillars make explicit the purpose of studying Economics, including the knowledge and skills that students develop over time. 

The pillars are referred to in every lesson, enabling students to link new learning to what they already know and can do. The course is split into two sections – microeconomics and macroeconomics.

Extra-curricular

In the Sixth Form we offer a variety of clubs introducing the Student Investor Challenge as well as an Economics Debate Club.
