The Business Studies Department
Key Stage 3 - Years 7 to 9
Year 7
Pupils at Ely College study one 60-minute lesson each week in mixed ability classes. The Key Stage 3 Business curriculum is designed to develop a broad range of key skills and gives them the chance to develop teamwork, creativity, initiative and enterprise.
Business Studies at Key Stage 3 is not a National Curriculum subject so there are no levels to report. The curriculum consists of three projects containing group and individual activities related to business topic areas. They aim to give pupils an experience of the world of business so that they can develop an understanding of how businesses and the market in which they operate work.
Pupils also have the opportunity in Year 7 to study and take part in a school trip to Disneyland Paris which is organised by the department.
