BUSINESS STUDIES

Curriculum Intent

Business Studies at Grove Academy aims to inspire students to understand the importance of enterprise and the nature of the business world. Students will leave the classroom enriched with a broad and balanced perspective of business, as well as an inspiration for success and a passion to work hard in the community. Throughout the Business curriculum, students will take a journey that develops their knowledge and skills to evaluate the dynamics of a business. This will lead to an outcome where students enjoy their learning to make good progress by applying the knowledge and skills to the subject as well as events faced in their everyday pathways.

Our Business curriculum enables students to have the ability to think commercially and creatively to demonstrate business acumen.  Students at Grove will be aware of the impact of business in the real world through exploring a range of diverse case studies on local to global businesses. Students will come to appreciate a wide view of how businesses operate in a multicultural society which will open their views to the evolving nature of businesses. The curriculum delivers a platform to business theory, scaffolded at each key stage, allowing students to develop their interest in the subject further. 

 At Grove students will have the ability to think commercially and creatively to demonstrate business acumen in class activities, presentations and enrichment projects, in addition to external enrichment.  Teaching will provide opportunities to develop confident students with high expectations who can be creative, resilient and be skilled for the globalised workplace. Business studies allows students to develop an excellent variety of skills to achieve lifelong learning as business studies is relevant to every career pathway.
