Business Curriculum
Vision
It is the vision for the Business Studies Department to provide opportunities through a rigorous curriculum to develop commercial minded and enterprising individuals.
- Business Studies will enable pupils to:
- Know about entrepreneurs – some well-known and other more local and less well known.
- Understand what makes a successful entrepreneur.
- Develop an awareness of their enterprise capabilities so that they are able to consider owning their own business as an alternative career path. They should also be equipped with the employability skills needed for the changing world of work and entrepreneurship.
- Develop knowledge and understanding of business and economic concepts and terms.
- Develop knowledge and understanding of their role in business and as a wider part of society and the economy.
- In addition to learning about business theory and calculations, pupils will be required to consider the health, social, moral and ethical issues surrounding business decisions and the impact that businesses can have on a wide range of stakeholders.
- Develop an interest in current business and economic affairs by reading widely around the subject in newspapers and magazines, as well as watching business related television programmes.
