Business Studies
Year 10
Teachers: Mr. Gerhard, Mr DJ and Ms. Marie
Dear parents and students,
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to Year 10 IGCSE Business Studies!
This two-year course covers a wide variety of business theory and its practical application. This will then culminate with students completing the IGCSE Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) in the summer term of their second year.
Students will be given end-of-unit tests, assignments, projects, classwork and homework all to assess their level of understanding and identify areas of weakness or strength. These will be alongside the departmental assessment cycle.
Students: Use this site and 'Google Classroom' to keep up to date with what you need to succeed on the course.
Parents: This is a great way to see what your child is accomplishing in class.

Independent Learning and Homework
Independent learning
Each week, you should be dedicating at least (2) hours to additional study
Some of this will be set homework tasks
Some of this will be your own research and reading on the topics being taught in class
All Business Studies teachers are available throughout the school day if you need any help
Homework
Homework is any work or activity which students are asked to do outside lesson time either on their own or with parents.
Why we give homework?
To encourage students to develop the confidence and self-discipline to work on their own, an essential skill for adult life.
To consolidate and reinforce skills and understanding.
To extend school learning, for example through additional reading
Types of homework
Homework might include such things as:
1. Writing assignments.
2. Learning assignments.
3. Preparing an oral presentation.
4. Reading in preparation for a lesson.
5. Finding out information/researching a project.
Non completion of homework within the set deadline will incur sanctions in line with the school policy.
Class Expectations
