It provides a framework for students to explore core concepts through the lens of an entrepreneur setting up a business. In this theme, students will be introduced to local and national business contexts and will develop an understanding of how these contexts impact business behaviour and decisions. Local contexts refer specifically to small businesses or those operating in a single UK location and national contexts relate to businesses operating in more than one location or across the UK. Students must develop an understanding of the interdependent nature of business activity through interactions between business operations, finance, marketing and human resources, as well as the relationship between the business and the environment in which it operates. ### Year 11 Theme 2 examines how a business develops beyond the start-up phase. It focuses on the key business concepts, issues and decisions used to grow a business, with emphasis on aspects of marketing, operations, finance and human resources. Theme 2 also considers the impact of the wider world on the decisions a business makes as it grows. In this theme, students will be introduced to national and global business contexts and will develop an understanding of how these contexts impact business behaviour and decisions. National contexts build on those in Theme 1 and relate to businesses operating in more than one location or across the UK. Global contexts relate to non-UK or transnational businesses. Students must develop an understanding of the interdependent nature of business activity through interactions between business operations, finance, marketing and human resources, as well as the relationship between the business and the environment in which it operates. ### Curriculum - [Curriculum Vision](https://sir-william-stanier-school.schudio.com/curriculum/school-values-and-the-curriculum) - [5-Year Subject Plans](https://sir-william-stanier-school.schudio.com/curriculum/5-year-subject-plans) - [Assessment, Marking & Feedback](https://sir-william-stanier-school.schudio.com/curriculum/assessment) - [Personal Development](https://sir-william-stanier-school.schudio.com/curriculum/personal-development) - [Extra-Curricular](https://sir-william-stanier-school.schudio.com/curriculum/extra-curricular) - [Careers Hub](https://sir-william-stanier-school.schudio.com/curriculum/careers) - [GCSE Examinations](https://sir-william-stanier-school.schudio.com/curriculum/gcse-examination-information) - [Year 9 Guided Choices](https://sir-william-stanier-school.schudio.com/curriculum/year-9-guided-choices) - [Remote Learning](https://sir-william-stanier-school.schudio.com/curriculum/remote-learning) ![](https://files.schudio.com/sir-william-stanier-school/images/logo/SWS_Logo_1_-removebg-preview_(1).png) **Sir William Stanier School** Coronation Street Crewe Cheshire CW1 4EB 01270 660880 office@sws.cheshire.sch.uk ### Useful Links: - [Contact Us](https://sir-william-stanier-school.schudio.com/contact-us) - [Safeguarding](https://sir-william-stanier-school.schudio.com/pastoral-care/safeguarding) - [Policies](https://sir-william-stanier-school.schudio.com/about-us/policies) - [SEND](https://sir-william-stanier-school.schudio.com/parents/send-inclusion) ![The Learning Partnership Trust](https://files.schudio.com/sir-william-stanier-school/images/logo/TLP_logo_for_footer_(1).png) The Learning Partnership is a charitable company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales.
