Business activity affects us all, whether as consumers, employees, shareholders, savers, borrowers or entrepreneurs. The importance of its influence on our lives is ever-growing and changing. All students, whatever career they choose to pursue, will be affected by what is studied in Business. The subject prepares students for the world of work in general and for a variety of business-related careers or higher education courses. Students are given the opportunity to develop creative and analytical thinking through investigating businesses and markets, analysing business systems, proposing improvements to business activities, investigating the importance of financial forecasting, investigating the external environment and its effects on business and investigating the growing importance of international trading.
For entry into the Sixth Form we require a positive end of school testimonial and normally the securing of a minimum six GCSEs, including Maths and English, at grades 9-5 (or grade equivalent). Students should achieve a grade 6 or above in those subjects they wish to take at A-Level. For subjects with no associated GCSE, the grades achieved in other subjects will be taken into consideration. This is a demanding and yet accessible A-Level subject. It requires a genuine interest in business and the economy, an enquiring mind and the ability to develop analytical arguments based on theory and real world examples. A good standard of written English and numeracy is essential. Ideally, you should have Maths GCSE at grade 7 and English GCSE at grade 6. These abilities are more important than previous study of business at GCSE Level.
