Course Overview
Qualification: A Level Courses
Studying Business gives learners a great understanding of how the modern world functions, as all organisations, from schools to political parties, will be concerned with internal factors such as leadership, marketing, human resources and finance. Furthermore, they need to consider the external environment such as the economy and political and legal change, along with social and technological change. All of these topics are covered in A-level Business, and encourage learners to think critically about the challenges that businesses face, and to make informed decisions about the best methods by which a business can overcome these issues and be successful. Overall, studying Business enables learners to analyse and evaluate information and opportunities and decide upon strategies that will lead to success – an important skill for any young adult trying to decide on how to succeed in the modern world
All of the Business team are trained Business specialists who are passionate about the subject. We ensure that what is taught is seen outside of the four walls of the classroom and so focus much of learning on trips and visits; in the last year, Business learners visited Innocent Smoothies, Morgan Motors and the Sky Garden. There were also talks from local entrepreneurs, including Gymshark, who share their journey, enabling students to get valuable insights into the skills needed to succeed. We use up-to-date and relevant case studies that incorporate contemporary developments such as digital technology, business ethics and globalisation. We study growing businesses such as Apple, Tesla and Innocent, and also examine business failures to help learners understand the complexities of the changing business environment.
