Business Studies

Business Studies at Key Stage 3 is an exciting development at Hinchingbrooke.

Year 9

Business Studies at Year 9 is a new and exciting challenge for students. It requires students to come up with an original business idea based on personalised market research. This course also encourages teamwork.

The purpose of this course is to;

• Introduce students to a wide range of Business Studies terms and concepts
• Develop and encourage students' confidence and understanding of Business Studies.

This can provide an ideal stepping stone for those students who wish to study Business Studies at GCSE. It is also an excellent "stand alone" introduction to Business Studies.

The current resource for the Year 9 project is located here.
