In the fast-paced and ever changing world of today, a knowledge of business is vital. Not only will business acumen assist leavers going into industry, but an in-depth understanding of the world of business can be inspirational, and encourage pupils to pursue avenues of entrepreneurial interest. This course will equip pupils with relevant business knowledge and give them an understanding of how business affects their everyday life.
Any pupil (internal or external) wishing to enter the Sixth Form at Shiplake is expected to have a good history of engagement with their learning, an excellent disciplinary record together with evidence of commitment to wider school life (such as music, drama, sport and volunteering). An offer of a place into Year 12 is conditional upon the candidate achieving a minimum of five good passes at GCSE (including English and mathematics) and a strong performance at GCSE in those subjects they wish to pursue at A Level. Level 7 average grade with minimum grade 6s in both mathematics and English.
Two of the units are externally assessed via a traditional written exam and the other three units are assessed internally via coursework, which is moderated by OCR. The nature of the course helps pupils manage their own time and meet deadlines, which is an important life skill for university and beyond. Presentations, interviews and business reports are all frequent forms of assessment.
