Wyedean School and Sixth Form Centre

Business and Economics

The Business department at Wyedean School aims to develop young business people and entrepreneurs.  The courses at GCSE and A Level have developed a lot to include a wider understanding of the legal, political, social and environmental context of business. This external environment is rapidly changing and out intention is to develop students into informed and adaptable individuals, ready and to tackle the challenges ahead.

The specification we have chosen is aimed to give students the opportunity to explore real business issues and how businesses work. It has been designed with a clear and straightforward structure to enable students to access and engage with the world of business.

The A-level Economics team at Wyedean School aims to develop enquiring minds and is a fantastic subject for those who are curious about what goes on around them.  Economics is arguably the most powerful of the social sciences. Its principles provide students with unparalleled analytical tools to interpret the world around them and to shine a light on all of the great challenges that face humanity – how to grow economies, tackle unemployment, grapple with environmental issues, reduce crime and even understand demographic change.
