Business

Welcome to Business in the Sixth Form at CHS

The department’s vision is to equip young people with the knowledge and skills to build a healthy, inclusive and sustainable world. We aim to develop students who have the confidence, motivation and academic flair to make a difference in the society, in whatever capacity that may be.

Lower Sixth

In the Lower Sixth, we study business, management and leadership and decision-making in various contexts (leadership, marketing, operations, finance and human resources). The focus is on looking at the details of how businesses are run.

Upper Sixth

In the Upper Sixth, we look mainly at the strategic side of business. We look at strategy via internal and external factors, strategic options, strategic direction, strategic methods and strategic change.

FAQs

Are there any GCSE requirements?

No, but grade 6 in Maths would be useful.

Can I do both Economics and Business?

Yes, but you will see a lot of the same teachers and will get the same topics taught from different perspectives at some points.

What's the difference between Economics and Business?

Economics is more conceptual and looks at the whole economy and whole markets and industries; Business is more practical, focused on real-world businesses and looks at individual businesses and why they succeed or fail.
