Course Announcements:
Year 10 - You have your end of year mock this week. Focus any last minute revision on exam technique.
Remember - the highest achievers in the business world did not get there without hard work; they worked when others were taking time off.
This is the revision guide we use to accompany this course.
It is very good and worth having.
Year 11s, have you thought about donating yours to the Business Studies Department? Please do!
We sell these in school for about 50p cheaper so it is up to you where you buy it from. See your Business Studies teacher to arrange purchase through school.
