The Pearson Edexcel A Level in Business is structured into four themes and consists of three externally examined papers. Pupils are introduced to business in Themes 1 and 2 by building knowledge of core business concepts and applying them to business contexts to develop a broad understanding of how businesses work. Breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding, with applications to a wider range of contexts and more complex business information, are developed in Themes 3 and 4, requiring students to take a more strategic view of business opportunities and issues. Pupils are encouraged to use an enquiring, critical and thoughtful approach to the study of business, to understand that business behaviour can be studied from a range of perspectives and to challenge assumptions. • Theme 1: Marketing and people • Theme 2: Managing business activities • Theme 3: Business decision and strategy • Theme 4: Global business
Offers of places will be made based on predicted GCSE Grades and applicants will require at least 5 passes at Grade 5 or above; at least a 6 in any subject to be studied at A Level except for Mathematics and the Sciences in which the candidate must have achieved at least a Grade 7.
