At KS4 our pupils follow the CCEA GCSE Business Studies Specification. In this unit, pupils are introduced to the fundamentals of starting a business. They examine why businesses start and the resources required to maintain and grow them. Pupils explore business aims and the impact that various stakeholder groups may have on businesses. Pupils explore marketing options and consider the impact of e-business on potential growth strategies. They also consider why businesses conform to quality assurance standards and health and safety legislation.
