Business Studies
In the world of business, the people who are most successful are those who are doing what they love.”
Warren Buffett
The purpose of the Business Studies curriculum is to empower our students and future entrepreneurs with the profound knowledge of business activities and decisions where students are given the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of topics through research, debate and discussion in lessons. Our ambition is that every student understands the complexities of the evolving and thriving diverse world that they will one day live and work within.
Here at Churchdown School, Business Studies aims to inspire students to understand the importance and the nature of the business world where students 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 their future endeavours.
Our curriculum enables students to have the ability to think creatively and critically to demonstrate business acumen. Students at Churchdown School will be aware of the impact of business in the real world and 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 and the world around them.
