Offering the BTEC Business course at Key Stage 4 at St Edward’s College provides students with a practical and engaging introduction to the world of business. The course allows pupils to develop essential skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, communication, and financial awareness, all highly valued by employers and further education providers. Students benefit from the supportive and experienced staff in the department, who are dedicated to helping each pupil achieve their potential and progress confidently through the course.
