Business at SRWA
The objective of Business Studies is to create life-long passionate students of business, equipped with the necessary skills to excel in their chosen careers.
We facilitate students on their journey to become highly confident, articulate and measured future entrepreneurs, leaders, advisers and managers, to name but a few chosen pathways. A fundamental skill for success will be the ability of the students to synergise a wide range of concepts and knowledge acquired through classroom teaching, independent study and real-world case studies and confidently articulate their rationale as to how they approach a wide range of business-orientated challenges.
Developing Our Learners
In Business Studies we want our students to become critical analysts and to know how real-world business decisions shape the world around them; we want them to be able to fully understand and articulate their approaches to business challenges; we want them to realise their potential in helping to shape their own lives and the lives of those around them for a better, brighter, more successful future.
Structure And Sequence
The KS4 Business Studies curriculum is broad, balanced and ambitious, and is sequenced in a logical way: foundations of essential business skills and knowledge are secured in year 10 before moving onto larger issues such as business ethics and the global business environment.
Across KS4 and KS5, students will study a range of real and fictitious case-studies which will enable them to apply their taught content as they make analytical judgments on the world of business. At KS5, the curriculum is sequenced in such a way that allows the skills of KS4 to be revisited and built upon with a greater level of depth, breadth and challenge.
Destinations And The World Of Work
An aspiration of many young people is to be self employed and start their own business. At SRWA we forge meaningful links with both local and national businesses who help to bring the theory of classroom-based work to life through both virtual and physical meetings.
The SRWA Business Studies curriculum ensures that all students are empowered with the knowledge and skills to succeed in the classroom and beyond. Students in Business Studies develop critical thinking skills, learn to work collaboratively and creatively and solve problems. Whether at KS4 or KS5, students get to grips with the knowledge, understanding and skills required for University and the 21st century world of employment.
