Business
Business is taught as a GCSE option in Years 10 and 11 and at A Level in Years 12 and 13. Throughout the course, students will gain the opportunity to study and investigate real life business case studies and apply them to all aspects of their academic and personal lives.
The Department also offers Young Enterprise as an extracurricular option. This provides students with the opportunity to set up and run their own company for the year. Students follow the ‘Company Programme’, where students make all the decisions about their company, from deciding on the company name and product to creating a business plan, managing the company finances, selling to the public at trade fairs to ultimately winding up the company and paying their taxes. All this takes place with the support of a dedicated member of staff and an external business adviser.
