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
