Introduction
The Business and Enterprise Faculty provides all students, through all key stages with a vibrant, enriching and engaging curriculum that incorporates Business, Enterprise, ICT, Creative Digital Media and Travel and Tourism. The curriculum that is in place in Business and Enterprise energises students through stimulating lessons that lead to enjoyment and excellent attainment.
The Business and Enterprise faculty creates an environment where students thrive in an atmosphere of ‘no student being left behind’ and all students, regardless of their background, will be pushed to achieve the very highest levels of accomplishment. To support this, the Business and Enterprise faculty now offer a KS5 Foundation year, where students have the opportunity to develop their analytical and evaluative skills so that they are ‘level 3 ready’.

Aims and objectives of the faculty
The faculty aims to inspire entrepreneurial skills, financial capability, employability skills and ICT knowledge, to ensure students are ready for the world of business.
Our goal is to equip every student with the tools to use in the modern business world, including the use of technology. This will help ensure that our students are prepared for their ultimate career goals.
We aim to help the students to develop a range of skills, including personal learning and thinking skills to provide the best opportunities for students to develop.
We offer opportunities for trips and visits to local and national businesses and build links with local entrepreneurs for our students to embrace. As a faculty we pride ourselves on offering a range of trips and visits to broaden students’ experiences. We view schools trips as a powerful and positive teaching tool that help enhance the social, personal and emotional development of all students in all key stages. The aims of these trips are to improve self-confidence and self-esteem, the ability to empathise and understand new perspectives and increase aspirations and motivation.
We ensure that we deliver a curriculum that encourages and supports students to achieve, via a choice of learning pathways.
Students are supported with their studies in Business and Enterprise, through the use of extra-curricular support and drop in sessions at lunch and after school.
