News headlines offer continual reminders of how relevant and interesting the business world is to us all. In recent years, much attention has been directed towards the effects of Brexit and Covid on Business. Longer term issues continue to hit the headlines too: business and the environment; the impact of new technologies; and the question of ethics in business. Business allows you to explore these exciting matters whilst developing an enquiring, creative and analytical approach to learning. In Year 12, you will focus on what business is - planning, management and leadership. You will further explore the four key functional areas of Marketing, Human Resources (HR), Operations and Finance and their decision-making processes. In Year 13, there will be a deeper coverage of these areas plus additional topics of strategic management, change management, business culture and the external environment.
You should have a minimum of a grade 5 in Business Studies GCSE. For pupils who have not previously studied this subject, grade 5 in English and grade 5 in Maths GCSE are required.
In Year 13 you will sit three 2-hour examinations which will assess both Year 12 and 13 content.
