Key Stage 4

Business studies at Key Stage 4 is an exciting opportunity for students to gain 2 GCSEs studying a BTEC First Certificate. 

As a department, we aim to also include a number of additional initiatives to enhance the students’ portfolio and CV. For example, our students experience international links and enterprise projects, they have the opportunity to experience running their own business and to take part in practical role plays. All of which enhance communication, confidence and creativity amongst our students.

Core units in the programme include:

  • Exploring Business Purpose
  • Development Customer Relations
  • Investigating Financial Control

Both A-level and applied subjects are equally equivalent in A-level points. The differences are as follows;


A-Level Business Studies

The OCR A-Level in Business studies is a fantastic qualification, looking to develop a critical understanding of how organisations meet society’s needs and wants. The qualification gives students the opportunity to develop a range of skills, generate enterprising and creative solutions to business problems, and to gain enthusiasm for studying business.

Applied Business Studies

The Edexcel GCE Applied Business is a broad-based qualification that provides the opportunity for students to explore the world of business in a highly practical way.  By adopting an investigative approach, students develop a range of skills while discovering the problems and opportunities faced by businesses.

It is the vocational focus of this qualification which encourages students to develop an understanding of how business works in the real world.  Students are encouraged to take part in practical activities such as planning and running a business, organising a major event, holding a board meeting to demonstrate effective teamwork, designing a new product for a global company and undertaking a personal development plan.

This course consists of 60% coursework and 40% exam.
