Course summary

We want our students to gain an understanding of the world of business; we want to introduce them to the range of business ideas and business models in place globally, we want them to become critical consumers and active participants in interactions with business locally and nationally. We want to engender a professional approach , learn a range of business terminology and become confident, analytical and critical communicators. The course we have chosen reflects the interests and needs of the students in our community, providing not only scope for detailed and academic study into a range of internal and external business outlooks, but also opportunities to read and write critically using a variety of current affairs news sources. The information sources we have chosen have been considered carefully - in consultation with students past and present - and deal with a range of business issues. In this way, they are highly engaging and students respond powerfully and positively to them. Students wishing to study Business or any subject that requires logical thought at University will be well-prepared, not only through effective delivery of the core content, but through access to ample wider reading, extra-curricular provision and EPQ support. Additionally, from this to be able to develop quantitative skills, together with qualities and attitudes that will equip them for the challenges, opportunities and responsibilities of adult and working life.

How you'll be assessed

Students will compile work in folders in accordance with the 6th Form work policy and must bring these to every lesson. Course structure focuses on knowledge acquisition whilst continually building on prior knowledge, building meaningful schema throughout. Assessments have also been structured in a way that allows students to build on knowledge and skills systematically, ranging from knowledge based recall tests, moving to application of knowledge and then onto longer case study questions analysing and evaluating information. A range of DNAs are used at the start of every lesson and focus on knowledge recall; these reflect best practice in terms of daily, weekly and monthly reviews. Vocabulary is taught explicitly: Students are given and tested regularly on Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary for every element of work, which is vital to be able to produce a more professional and persuasive business argument.. We model effective application of skills, showing students how to analyse and calculate ratios , financial data and analytics; this ensures a thorough understanding of business decision-making using data. We model how to write, using LSS planning documents: chains of reasoning.. This is based on the excellent resources found in ‘The Writing Revolution’. There is a high-accountability expectation of 2-3 hours Prep to be completed / week. Very often this will require students to consolidate knowledge of what they have learnt, but may involve reading or preparation for forthcoming topics using flipped learning. Longer questions will always be handwritten and much of the time will be completed in lessons so we can monitor closely how students are working under timed conditions, however, to reinforce learning, longer question analysis and evaluation may be planned or executed as prep.
