The Business Studies curriculum allows students to realise their God-given potential. Students are provided with an inclusive curriculum programme through vocational and academic pathways. Both options provide an engaging curriculum by developing an understanding of the business world and the importance of future employment opportunities.

There are many opportunities within business to develop students’ cultural capital with investigations into local, national and multi-national organisations where students can see how they can achieve their potential and what is required to achieve their goals. This sits alongside partnerships with local businesses to provide opportunities through workshops, trips and talks to develop a deep understanding of the curriculum within the real-world context; this allows students to be prepared for future employment in all sectors of industry.  

The business courses have been carefully designed to fulfil our vision. The planning of the courses highlights the core Christian values throughout the topics taught, the case studies used and the discussions within lessons. Students consider ethical and moral decisions made by organisations as well considering the ethical and legal requirements of the way employees are treated by the organisations.  

Key Stage 5 offers students the opportunity to develop a holistic approach to business by investigating strategic and tactical decisions and how they impact the different business functional areas. The courses, OCR Level 3 Business and Equas A Level Business Studies builds on understanding from Key Stage 4 by allowing students to provide insightful analysis and evaluative conclusions on business concepts.
