BUSINESS STATEMENT
The curriculum for Business is designed to cater to a wide range of academic and vocational students by offering GCSE, as well as the Tech award in Enterprise. It has been developed in order for our staff to deliver thought-provoking and inspiring lessons that are consistent in quality and in routines, as well as giving a good balance between knowledge and skills.
In Business, students will be able to develop an understanding of many key business concepts such as how to be entrepreneurial, marketing, financial calculations and human resources, as well as many other key business terms. The course is designed to encourage students to consider the practical application of business concepts, and to give students the opportunity to explore real business issues, how businesses work and their decision-making techniques. Furthermore, the curriculum integrates traditional business principles with contemporary digital strategies. Students delve into areas such as digital marketing, e-commerce, and data analytics. Understanding the intersection between technology and business operations is crucial, and the curriculum reflects this by fostering a holistic approach.
Our intent is the curriculum:
- Will develop their knowledge and understanding of Business concepts from a local, national and international perspective.
- Will create different optional pathways available through Business, such as management, finance / accounting, marketing, political degrees and much more. We want to inspire students to succeed in the next stage in their education, training or employment.
- Will develop the students' employability skills and attributes through the development of interactive learning, thus allowing our students to reach their full potential.
- Engage our students with the business world and the economy as it happens in society, outside the classroom.
- Give our students opportunities to help develop transferable skills which can be used in all disciplines, such as decision-making, problem-solving, as well as analytical and evaluation skills.
