Results
Business and Economics A Level results have been strong over recent years with many students going on to study the subject at university. The GCSE results are consistently strong, with 83% achieving grade 4+ in 2019. The department adds significant value to pupils, not only compared to national results, but also in comparison to pupils’ performance inside the school.
Extra curricular
The department provides numerous opportunities for pupils to stretch their understanding of the subjects away from lessons. These include outside speakers from economic think tanks; lecture visits to the Polecon conference, GCSE Business trip to Thorpe Park and an annual trip to Brussels to see the EU in action.
Support for pupils
We pride ourselves on the level of support and care we provide to the students within the department. This support covers a range of areas including UCAS applications and specific gaps in subject knowledge. We feel this support makes a significant difference to pupils’ chances of success.
Why work for us?

Music is a big part of school life and staff are welcome to join our senior choir and instrumental groups.
We have a social event at the end of each term as well as occasional staff trips to the theatre.
The school is situated in Redhill, a commuter belt town in the Surrey Fringe area. We are close to the M25 and there are good transport links to London and the South Coast from Redhill station which is about 15 minutes walk from the school. We also benefit from being within walking distance of beautiful countryside . Many staff live locally, others commute from Guildford, South London, Kent and East & West Sussex.
