Enterprise & Marketing

Enterprise and Marketing  - Business

We aim to prepare students for the challenges of working in the real world by introducing them to the world of business.  In KS4, students will have the option to take the OCR Cambridge National in Enterprise & Marketing with the opportunity to learn how plan and start a business effectively.   Many of the skills learnt in Computing will be useful in successfully completing the qualification. Students will develop crucial communication skills, consider their target audience and get to grips with budgeting and accounting as we try and unlock the potential to be a future entrepreneur or the next generation of business leaders.

We prepare students for the real world by giving them the opportunity to research and develop a product as well as pitch their ideas backed by strong financial analysis. We hope to ensure a greater depth and breadth in learning through practical exercises & challenges. Some basic business terms are taught in KS3, so we hope to enable all students to build and learn new knowledge and skills on their prior knowledge.

The Enterprise & Marketing course is designed with both practical and theoretical elements, which will prepare learners for further study of qualifications in enterprise, marketing or business. It suits students who prefer practical learning and have an interest in business and follow TV programmes such as Dragon’s Den.

We aim to provide students with engaging lessons taught by highly skilled expert teachers with opportunities for experiences beyond the classroom. This means allowing students to learn from mistakes, using assessment at the most appropriate time to identify and address gaps in knowledge. It is our intent to achieve the highest possible results in national tests and prepare students for the next phase of their education or employment and life in modern Britain, taking account of pupils’ aspirations, the local, national and global job markets.

As always, we ensure diversity is celebrated to ensure all students feel welcomed, supported and valued in the school community and develop an array of business vocabulary to access business plans and meetings at all levels.
