This year’s ‘high grade’ results are among the best ever for both A Level Business and Economics, and BTEC Business.

	% high grades (A*-B)
A Level Business	73.2%
A Level Economics	76.5%
	% high grades (distinction or distinction*)
BTEC Diploma in Business (2 A Level equivalent)	96.1%
BTEC Subsidiary Diploma in Business (1 A Level equivalent)	82.3%

This means that as with other subject areas, more students than ever are getting onto their ‘first choice’ university courses.

For example, Ciara Wilson, who was at St. Bede’s School before starting at Reigate College gained two A*s in Economics and Politics and an A in Maths, and is taking up a place to read Economics and Politics at Leeds University.
