Business

It has been an extremely busy and productive year for
the Business department. The subject is more popular
than ever and pupils have been inspired by the qual-
ity of teaching and passion from all members of the
department. Equally, pupils have been inspired by the
‘real world’ of business from Elon Musk’s acquisition
of Twitter to the unprecedented fall of Bitcoin value.

Whilst Key Stage 4 and Key stage 5 have the oppor-
tunity to explore and build their subject knowledge
through their GCSEs and A levels respectively, it was
the Key Stage 3 pupils who have demonstrated their
entrepreneurial spirit by taking part in ‘The Young
Entrepreneurs Society, which takes place one a week
as an ECA.

Pupils have shown remarkable knowledge and en-
trepreneurial qualities by planning and setting up
their own Business; from selling sweets online to de-
signing bespoke beads for customers. Also they have
demonstrated fantastic knowledge of finance, human
resources, operations and marketing as well as inge-
nuity and creativity. Pupils will now pitch their ideas
to entrepreneurs in Jeddah in pursuit of investment.
