Key Stage 4 - GCSE Business

GCSE Business looks to give students an understanding of a wide range of ideas, theories and skills that are essential for any business to succeed, with particular focus on small businesses and business start-ups.

The first year of the course focuses on “Investigating Small Businesses” and looks at identifying business opportunities, understanding and researching the competition and developing the skills of the business “entrepreneur” (the person who sets up and runs a business).

Whilst in the second-year students look to develop their understanding of “Building a Business” focusing on key business functions including; Marketing, Finance, People, and Operations and the impact of the economic environment on businesses.
