ASSESSMENT<br />
<strong>Year</strong> 7 and 8 Business and Enterprise<br />
Business Enterprise is taught to all <strong>Year</strong> 7 and 8 students across the school. You will receive<br />
one lesson per week and this is taught by specialist Business Studies teachers. The subject<br />
engages you to think about all aspects of a business and it allows you to make educated<br />
judgements based on the knowledge and understanding you will gain during your lessons.<br />
Our aim within the department is to broaden your knowledge and understanding of the<br />
business world and to help develop your appreciation of the influences and constraints<br />
within which businesses work.<br />
Homework<br />
Homework tasks are set to reinforce the understanding and application of knowledge<br />
and skills. Some homework is set so that you can research or investigate. You will be set<br />
homework on a fortnightly basis. Homework tasks and resources are uploaded to Show<br />
My Homework so that you can access them from home or outside of the lesson.<br />
Assessment<br />
Review tests are carried out at the end of each unit of work to assess your knowledge and understanding<br />
for the unit you have completed.
