Business Studies
Welcome to the Business Department!
Business Studies is an options course taught at GCSE and A Level for years 10,11,12 & 13.
The course is wide ranging, current and very interesting. It is a very popular course and many of the pupils studying it at GCSE will continue to study at A level.
The subject looks at:
- How to start a business
- The skills needed
- How large businesses operates
- Finance

Additionally the subjects look at how the outside world affects business and the public.
The department has regularly arranged visits. Most recently London, New York and Alton Towers looking at all aspects of business. We have also been fortunate to have guest speakers to talk about their experiences of running a businesse. The subject can lead pupils on to University and World of Work in the following areas: Accountant, Management, Finance, Marketing and economics.
Fact-Those who study business at degree level are on average the highest earners at 25 years of age.
