Business

Course Overview


Students have the opportunity to take Business from Year 9. 

GCSE Business Studies enables students to understand more about the business world. It enables them to develop as commercially minded and enterprising individuals who think critically, drawing on business information and evidence to develop arguments and make justified and evaluative decisions. GCSE Business Studies will motivate and challenge individuals, and prepare them to make informed decisions about further study and career pathways. Year 9 introduces the specification through the completion of the majority of Theme 1.
