The Business curriculum deepens students’ knowledge and understanding of a broad range of business topics.  It excites and inspires learners to experience new ‘things’, and engage and reflect on the business world around them.  We create a love of learning through a curriculum that is inclusive and knowledge rich, and that empowers students to be critical thinkers about how business plays a key role in their community and wider society.  Studying Business gives students an unrivalled insight into our modern, globally integrated world and prepares them to enter the world of work in whatever industry they choice to pursue.  

Our curriculum is designed to:

• Develop knowledge of business, from micro start-ups through to the globalised world economy, through structured and spiral learning with clarity around the core and gateway knowledge at every step
• Be aspirational and have high expectations of all students.
• Reflect our students own experiences of business related concepts, but also allow students to experience concepts and ideas from the world of business that are new to them, giving them a better understanding of the wider world. 

What does it look like in the classroom? (Implementation in Business)

Expert business subject and pedagogical knowledge that delivers;

• An exploration of core and gateway concepts within each domain of knowledge in business, using methods of delivery that are rooted in the science behind the acquisition of knowledge, including first class guided, deliberate and independent practice.
• Skilful checking for understanding of business domains of knowledge through effective questioning, including ‘pitstops’, that is designed to anticipate errors and tackle misconceptions head on.
• Reinforcement of knowledge that deepens understanding and promotes the transition from novice to expert learners, with fluent comprehension and application of specialist vocabulary. The transition is supported by research-based strategies of rehearsal, including retrieval practice and elaboration.
