Business Studies
“To me, business isn’t about wearing suits or pleasing stockholders. It is about being true to yourself, your ideas and focusing on the essentials.”
Richard Branson, Virgin Group.
Our curriculum vision is to develop the knowledge and skills students require for higher education and employment; skills to analyse data, think critically about issues and make informed decisions. We encourage our students to follow business developments and think critically about contemporary business issues. Our aim is to prepare students for the dynamic and global business environment in order to become future business leaders and captains of industry.
Students at Bordesley Green Girls' School and Sixth Form are given knowledge about business in a variety of contexts. Key functional business areas are introduced such as marketing, operations, finance and human resources. Students study the interrelated nature of business activities and its impact on decision making. They investigate the strategic decisions that all businesses have to make. Students are presented with a variety of stakeholder perspectives, which allows them to make well-informed decisions, whether their future aspirations are to become an employee, an entrepreneur, a corporate executive or even the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
