Business A Level provides a comprehensive investigation into the business world, determining the purpose of businesses and how they make decisions. It provides an insight into a range of diverse topics from marketing and human resources through to finance and the legal structures of businesses.
The vast majority of Upper Fifth (Year 11) pupils at Exeter School continue into the sixth form but there has also been a long tradition of a significant number of new entrants from other schools. To qualify for entry into the Lower Sixth, applicants and current Upper Fifth pupils need to achieve a minimum of three grade 7 and three grade 6 GCSEs as well as passing GCSE English and mathematics and have a positive reference/school record (that includes conduct, attendance and punctuality). No previous Qualification in business is required for the A-level course and you are expected to have at least GCSE grade 6 in maths, English language and English literature.
Three two-hour written examinations, assessing the work from both the Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth years. The papers will contain a mixture of multiple-choice, short and long-answer questions. All the papers will assess relevant knowledge and skills as all papers are synoptic. Paper three is based on a single case study where pupils are expected to view businesses holistically, answering long essay-style questions.
