Key Stage 4: Business
Curriculum Overview
Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Business
In Business we provide students with essential skills and knowledge to prepare them for the next step in their lives, be that further education, training or work. We provide a broad and accessible curriculum with engaging, knowledge-rich subject.
Business naturally lends itself to supporting students in their other studies in school, including many links to numeracy and literacy. 聽Our curriculum has been developed to provide opportunities for students to demonstrate creativity, zest as well as independence through project work. 聽
Students develop analytical and evaluative skills throughout the business course which not only prepare them to be highly successful in GCSE Business, but also in the wider world by being able to make justified decisions. Students gain a strong working knowledge of how businesses operate for running, or working within one in the future.
