You will study leadership and management and in particular, how businesses develop strategies in relation to functional areas such as finance, operations, human resources and marketing. You will also learn to appreciate how important it is for businesses to analyse performance and to appreciate the wider external environment when drawing up future strategies. Business Studies is in many ways complementary to the study of economics, but tends to focus on the more detailed processes of what actual businesses do. The business environment, including the economy, is studied in detail. The skills required for success are very similar to those required in economics.
In addition to passing our Entrance Examinations, offers are conditional on achieving a minimum of six 9-6 grades at GCSE (or equivalent), including in the subjects to be studied at A Level, where applicable: please see individual subject entry grades on pages 13-61 for subject-specific entry requirements. Girls without these grades may be admitted subject to discussion with the Senior Deputy Head, Director of Sixth Form and the Head. Most of our Sixth Formers follow a 3 A Level programme. Students who would benefit from the opportunity for further stretch and variety are supported to follow a 4 A Level programme. Alongside their 3 or 4 A Levels, girls will also have the opportunity to complete the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) which equates to half an A Level.
