Welcome and welcome back! (Stat attack)

Welcome to the sixteen Y12s, the fifth cohort of economics students at SGS.

Thankfully some of you Y12's made it through transition so we have 16/18 in y13. 32/34 will be the most we've had taking economics at one time and I'm looking forward to the challenge.

AS grades were OK. The distribution was pretty even across the range (5 A's, 5 B's, 5 C's and 5 D's, 2 E's and 2 U's.

A2 results were excellent with A* for Jack Gill, Tom Maxey and Ben Garner. A's were achieved by James Mayley, Taylor Ross and Joe Fresen. Chris Nightingale was very happy with a hard earned C.

So far at A2 we've had final grades as follows:

A* 16.7% 16.5%
A 27.8% 44.5%
B 22.2% 66.7%
C 22.2% 88.9%
D 11.1% 100%

Students have found this course has helped them to achieve places on Land Economy at Cambridge (2), Geography at Cambridge, Financial Mathematics, Business Studies (3), Actuarial Science, Maths, History, Physics, Drama and English, and Construction.

Good luck in the coming year,

Sam Walker, SGS, Head of Economics
