Business Studies
Years 7-11
Business Studies
Business is all around us. Every day, decisions made by organisations affect the products we buy, the jobs people do and the way the economy functions. Studying Business helps students develop a deeper understanding of how organisations operate while building valuable skills in communication, problem-solving, decision-making and analysis.
At John Taylor Free School, Business Studies encourages students to think critically about the world around them and explore how ideas can be transformed into successful enterprises. Through real-world case studies and practical examples, students learn how businesses respond to challenges, compete in markets and make strategic decisions.
