Business Studies

Head of Department:  Mr E. Dixon

Students have the opportunity to select Business as one of their GCSE subjects, studying the course throughout years 10 and 11.

The Business Department offers students a chance to learn and get involved in the dynamic nature of the business environment. Our courses are taught by experienced teachers with years of examiner training and a firm grasp of the requirements demanded by the exam boards. We pride ourselves on bringing the real world into the classroom as well as ensuring all of our students have access to numerous partner businesses to develop a full understanding of the workings of business.

The department organises a range of activities and trips which enable students to gain a better understanding of the topics being taught, and to see the theory in action. Students are also involved in a number of internal and external competitions, allowing students to put their lessons into action, and even run their own small businesses.
