The A Level course considers strategies for larger businesses and how managers might measure the performance of the business. It also considers the effects that external factors can have on businesses and how a business can plan for and manage change, including leadership style and change in business culture. Among the many benefits, the course is designed to encourage candidates to; explore real business situations, be practical in the application of business concepts, and understand the role of the entrepreneur and business in society. Throughout the course students will be expected to research independently from a wide range of sources such as newspapers, magazines, the internet and watch current affairs and business-related TV programmes and documentaries. As part of this course students will also have the opportunity to take part in the Young Enterprise programme, as part of the extra-curricular programme.
An interest in, and a desire to study, Business are essential.
Year 1 of the A Level, assessments take place once every half term and homework is set on a regular basis. A mock examination will take place during the second term, based on the first term’s work, and internal examinations will take place in the third term. In Year 2, the format of assessment will be similar; however, the internal examinations will be replaced with a final external assessment, which consists of three two hour written exams taken at the end of the two year course. Each exam will be worth a third of the A-level. All three papers will draw on material from the whole course, and will feature a range of question styles including multiple choice questions, short answer questions, essay questions, data response questions and case studies
