The specification is divided into four themes and themes 1 and 2 are studied in Year 12. Theme 1 considers the business functions of marketing and people, considering elements such as the marketing mix, the way in which markets work and elements of HR such as recruitment, organisational design and motivation. Theme 2, managing business activities, covers both finance and production. Students will learn to use techniques such as calculating different types of profit,break-even analysis, budgeting and variance analysis and calculating profitability and liquidity. They will learn about production techniques such as capacity utilisation, stock control and quality management. By the end of the course, students will have developed knowledge, understanding and skills in all of the four main business functions.
You should be aiming for a minimum of grade 5 in mathematics and English at GCSE. Business combines extremely well with all A-level subjects
Kingsley business students study the Edexcel GCE business specification. Linear A-level examinations are taken at the end of the course. In addition, AS examinations will be taken in the summer of Year 12. These may be ‘stand alone’ qualifications for those who do not wish to continue with the subject beyond Year 12, but also provide useful examination practice and will help with university applications in Year 13
