Business Studies within Wallingford School aims to provide students with the ability to develop key working skills whilst developing entrepreneurial skills in an engaging and purposeful way. Business studies shows pupils how businesses function from a range of angles: as an owner, employee and customer. This allows individuals to imagine, justify and interpret a variety of key terminology when justifying their own choices within a business format.
The curriculum is based around research and development of ideas, linked to the basic principles of how businesses function in our society. Business will set students up to be successful in the world of work and society as we know it and the future that they will be shaping.
