Key Stage 4
Business Studies is taught as both GCSE and BTEC qualifications. The students are taught in mixed ability option groups with each group receiving 6 hours of lessons per fortnight in Year 11. From this academic year, Year 10 students receive 5 hours per fortnight if they have opted to follow either the GCSE or Level 2 BTEC options. Lessons are delivered in standard classrooms and ICT suites as appropriate.
At Key Stage 4, ICT is both a core and option subject, whereby every student receives a core provision of ICT comprising 2 hours per week developing their understanding from KS3, and they can also opt to study ICT following one of two options – Multimedia or Systems. These options provide the opportunities for students to focus on an area of ICT that interests them to enable specific skill development and understanding.
