The A level business course seeks to provide students with a broad insight into how businesses are structured and operate along with the various internal and external influences that impact the strategic decisions that are made. We follow the AQA specification at Archbishop Tenison’s, which expects students to look beyond the text book and apply their learning to the real world. Students are encouraged to seek out specific examples to use in their answers; scenarios with things like the demise of the High Street and the growth in online shopping provide a wide range of success and failure material. As this is the world in which our students will live, we aim to provide them with a range of skills to help them identify, assess and evaluate situations.
Assessment at A-Level · There are three papers at A-Level, each of 2 hours duration. · Each paper is equal to 33.3% of the overall grade. · Content for each paper is drawn from the entire specification. Paper 1 · 15 multiple choice questions · A series of short answer and short essay questions · 2 longer 25-mark essays where there is a choice of titles. Paper 2 · 3 short case studies with a series of short answer and essay questions on each Paper 3 · Comprising an unseen case study · 6 essay questions ranging from 12 to 24 marks
