A-Level choices for PPE

I am currently planning on taking the following subjects for A-Level:

Maths
Further Maths
History
Economics

Is this a good selection for reading PPE at university, especially at a top university such as Oxford? Are there any changes you would recommend, or general tips?

Many thanks.

Check the entry requirements for the unis you want to apply to and see if the subjects meet the entry requirements. You're subject seem good just make sure you don't overwork yourself with 4 subjects as offers for Oxbridge can be made for 3 subjects as well as 4.

This is basically the perfect combination for PPE. So long as you do genuinely enjoy and do well at these subjects (that is, you’re not choosing them purely to maximise your chances of getting into PPE), then there’s no reason not to take them.
Great, thanks for the advice!
