Business and Economics are thriving subjects at The Downs and are hugely popular amongst students in KS4 with strong progression through to A Level courses in both subject areas.

The Business and Economics department includes three experienced and highly skilled specialist teachers.

Outcomes are excellent with the subjects achieving 'red hot' ALPS2 in Economics and ALPS3 in Business in last year's summer exams.

Business and Economics sits within our Social Sciences faculty and works closely and collaboratively with the other subjects in the faculty, which include Sociology, Politics and Law.

The Downs School, a Foundation, 11-18 comprehensive school, is a successful, oversubscribed, and popular school serving the Downs area of West Berkshire.

Results at all levels are consistently outstanding and the best in West Berkshire, and Ofsted described our students as having 'excellent personal and social skills' who 'achieve well academically.
