Welcome

Inspired, created and run by students

Welcome to the blogsite of the economics and business department of the King’s School, Chester.

The site is inspired by students, created by students and run by students (yep, no teachers – well SDW is in the background somewhere) … so if there is something you would like to see, or you want to get involved contact any of the blog team below.

We hope you make use of the regularly updated blogs – please comment on the news we bring you or the views and thoughts we express. We hope to ‘get into’ your classroom too (if we’re not there already!), so let us know if you have anything you would like to share via this site.

 

Meet the blog team

Stephen Lear is the other half of the brains behind the blogsite and is the Economics Subject Prefect.

Some say quiet as a mouse, others say sharp as a razor. Whatever they say, be sure to follow Josh’s blogs on the economy, which will take a rational and in-depth look at economic developments and their implications across the world.
