Business

Business Studies is a subject which offers students the opportunity to understand the economic world around them, bringing to life the consumer society in which we live.

The enormous reach of business and enterprise means learning in Business Studies is contemporary, real-world and personal.

Understanding business and how and why decisions are made by businesses and consumers allows students to understand why McDonalds is omnipresent whereas Woolworths is no more. As we delve into the world of human resources students are encouraged to translate their learning into understanding their own skills and attributes and how these will help them guide their way through the world of work.

The Business Studies curriculum builds a sound knowledge base in students but also helps them to build their skill set including the ability to research, debate, compromise and make decisions. Knowledge is checked through recapping and recovering in each lesson and formally assessed through half-termly mini tests as well as formal mock exams. The key areas of study in Business are business activity (including the role of enterprise and entrepreneurship), marketing (including market research), human resources, operations, finance and external influences on business (including the economic environment and global business).

The curriculum is designed in a way that allows students to translate their knowledge learnt into the next theme meaning students clearly understand the interconnectedness of all areas of business.
