At Withington, we aim to promote the school’s ethos of love of learning, engagement with our school’s wide breadth of opportunity and commitment to the highest standards in all that we do for the benefit of our pupils in all aspects of their development. Our commitment is to: intellectually stimulating, innovative and supportive teaching which enables each pupil to fulfil her potential and develop the skills, knowledge and approaches needed not only for success in examinations but for life beyond school. The School believes strongly in enrichment, diversity and extension and our lessons go beyond the requirements of the National Curriculum.

The Department usually has four teaching groups: 2 in the Upper Sixth and 2 in the Lower Sixth, although this may vary from year to year. Pupils achieve exceptionally high A-level results and many leave to study for degrees in in Economics, Finance, Business or Management. There is currently one full time teacher, with additional hours being taught by non-specialist staff members, due to the increasing popularity of the subject we are now looking to add a second Economics specialist.
