Subject Information - GCSE Business

VISION/AIM

To allow students to develop an understanding of the business world, the economy and develop the skills to become a business person or entrepreneur.  Enterprise is an important part of the business sector and plays a major role in the UK’s global economic status. The role of entrepreneurs is to help create wealth for the nation and its citizens through the creation of enterprises that innovate and grow the economy. We need students of today to become the entrepreneurs of the future.

This course will give students the opportunity to develop knowledge and technical skills in a practical learning environment. It will also allow them to develop key skills, such as problem solving, research, decision making, innovation, project management, planning and communication. Whether students want to start up and own their own business in the future or they want to work in the business sector, they will need to develop an understanding of the areas studied as well as the skills mentioned which are essentially life skills.

Resources and support materials can be found on Google Classroom.
