Curriculum Intent
key stage 5
Overview
At Key Stage 5, students follow the AQA Business specification (7131/7132). The course is designed to provide students a wide understanding of many business topics such as entrepreneurship, financial management, economics, human resources, operations management, marketing, strategic decision-making, motivation and leadership. Students study 10 topic areas during the two-year duration of the course. This enables students to develop a wider understanding of the local, national and international economic business environment that impacts upon their daily lives.
Beyond the specific knowledge gained, A Level Business Studies hones critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The curriculum challenges students to analyse complex situations, make informed decisions and develop strategic solutions.
Combining business and economic theory to applied business contexts and case studies enables students to develop a breadth and depth of knowledge.
At the end of Year 13, students will be assessed on all 10 topics studied via the completion of 3 externally assessed examinations to gain the A-Level qualification.
