Business
Curriculum Intent
Business develops awareness and equips our young people with the skills and expertise required for the world of work. Their natural curiosity of the business world, economic climate and entrepreneurship helps to reach our goal of preparing our students to be informed citizens. Securing knowledge in business prepares them academically, culturally, mental and morally, which they can then utilise anytime and become independent life-long learners.
The business department introduces students to the key foundation of business start-up and longer-term management. Students have the opportunity to enhance soft skills, hard skills, current affairs knowledge to access future pathways, and also become analytical thinkers who apply their business knowledge to real life scenarios.
Our courses meet the needs of our students whilst considering internal and external environmental changes. Our intent is to grow and progress students that can adapt well and are prepared for the challenges ahead.
This is supported by experiences of exploring real business both locally and globally. Students engage with the increasing demands of the business-related world in which we live, allowing them to become informed and confident consumers, employees, employers and entrepreneurs.
