What can an economics teacher expect in Cambridge?
Economics has deep roots in Cambridge. John Maynard Keynes and Alfred Marshall both worked here, and the city's own economy, with fast growth, high house prices and a booming tech sector, gives students plenty of real examples.
Economics is a popular A level in the sixth form colleges and 11–18 schools, and is often chosen alongside maths by students aiming for economics, PPE or finance degrees. Some schools also offer GCSE economics.
Schools value economics teachers who are confident with diagrams, data and evaluation, and who can also teach business studies to GCSE or A level.

- Plan and teach Economics lessons at KS5, and GCSE where offered
- Teach microeconomics and macroeconomics, including data analysis and evaluation
- Prepare students for A level and GCSE exams, including essay technique

- Assess, mark and give feedback that helps students make progress
- Teach Business or personal finance where needed
