Business Studies
The Business Studies curriculum is designed to support students to develop a rich understanding of
the world of business through engaging and creative opportunities that extend beyond the classroom
environment. Pupils will have opportunities to develop, practice and implement the skills needed to make well-informed business decisions, to justify reasons for their decisions and become creative problem solvers who will be able to reflect on their experiences and develop adaptive practices so they may confidently navigate the fast paced world of business and commerce.
By exploring a range of content over their two year course pupils will develop a solid understanding of the core
elements of a successful Business Enterprise and how they can utilise these skills to contribute effectively in any
future role. Pupils have opportunities to develop a wide range of applied knowledge and practical skills whilst setting up a successful business enterprise including;- analytical and problem solving skills, critical thinking and research skills, planning and time management skills, creative thinking and presentation skills and effective communication skills among others.
Their exploration of key concepts blends seamlessly with their assessment projects culminating in a formal
‘Business Pitch’ to a range of stakeholders with opportunities for self and peer reflection. The interwoven themes
allow pupils to understand business theories, how these may work in practice and the challenges that may be faced.Pupils are able to explore a vast range of careers where their skills and knowledge will be applicable and will have opportunities to network with businesses in the local area.
