Business is a dynamic and exciting subject which encompasses the four main disciplines of Marketing, Accounting and Finance, Operations Management and Human Resources Management and often allows pupils to find an area they would like to specialise in. In our teaching, and in line with our Catholic ethos, we emphasise the social responsibility of business. We also ensure that in Business lessons pupils are given the opportunity to reflect and share their own experiences to aid their learning. In lessons, we strive to give pupils the knowledge, skills and compassion they will need to be Business leaders of the future and Men and Women for others. Business encompasses the four main disciplines of Marketing, Accounting and Finance, Operations Management and Human Resources Management.
