Business Studies

Business Studies is taught from Year 10 in which students can choose a two year course called a BTEC First. In the sixth form students can opt for the follow up course which is called a BTEC National.
 
Both BTEC courses are coursework based and examine a wide area of business life, focusing on actual case studies rather than just textbook theory. Topics covered range from marketing, finance/accounts, recruitment, economics, retailing and people management.

​The business partners that we have worked with over the last couple of years have included: The Manor House Hotel, Drake Circus, Flybe and Steven’s Estate Agents. Alongside these, we also use Internet resources and other information to investigate how real businesses are influenced by differing factors.
 
Business Studies is taught in its own ICT suites and has proven to be a popular option subject.
