At King’s, the class sizes are small, allowing for individual attention and support for all of our Business students. The department has three experienced and passionate teachers who instill great enthusiasm in their students. The department achieves strong results consistently. We have engineered many links with the local community and take part in several national competitions in order to bring greater realism into the lessons. The department organises a variety of trips to industry lectures and successful businesses, along with residential trips to New York. What will I study during the course? The course followed at King’s is Edexcel Level 3 Advanced GCSE in Business (9BS0). Four themes are covered: • Theme 1 – Marketing and People: introducing the students to the market, exploring the marketing and people functions, and investigating entrepreneurs and business start-ups. • Theme 2 – Managing Business Activities: students will explore the finance and operations functions and investigate external influences on businesses. • Theme 3 – Business Decisions and Strategy: students will develop their understanding of the concepts introduced in Theme 2 and explore business strategy and decision-making. • Theme 4 – Global Business: students will develop their understanding of the concepts introduced in Theme 1 and explore business activity in a global context.
Students are expected to have attained five A*-C / 9-5 grades at GCSE, including English Language and Mathematics: to grade 6 / B or higher, as you will need to analyse and interpret a variety of forms of data and be able to communicate ideas effectively both orally and in writing. You do not need to have any prior learning or knowledge of business in order to study the subject at A Level. To take this subject to Sixth Form, you should have a natural interest in how modern life and the world acts, and you need to think like a business leader. You need to be an independent learner, a critical thinker and a strong decision-maker.
