Key Terms
Every word a business department teaches, Year 7 to A Level, in one A4 book. Each key stage gets its own pages: the terms grouped the way they are taught rather than alphabetically, a definition that fits on two lines, and a worked example beside almost every one. Each key stage opens on two short sentences, annotated: price, cost and profit at Key Stage 3; revenue, cost, profit, customer, competitor and a decision at GCSE; stakeholders, objectives, strategy and risk at A Level. The numbers on those sentences appear again beside the same words in the list. GCSE then follows the business, from starting and owning it, through growth and location, the influences on it, operations, finance and performance, to marketing and people; A Level adds strategy, markets and pricing, budgets and investment appraisal, accounts and ratios, leadership and motivation, operations, external influences, data and change. Six small diagrams are drawn where a sentence will not do, including a break-even chart, the marketing mix and the life of a product. Then a page on using the words: the ones the assessment itself is written in, the false friends that mean something else in a business classroom, the same point written weakly and then properly, and what each word becomes at the next key stage.

A pupil who knows a word is not yet using it. This book is built around that gap. The words for each key stage sit in the groups they are taught in, each with a short definition and a worked example, and a marked word is one the pupil meets again at the next key stage, so a department can see where its vocabulary carries forward and where it changes name. Every key stage opens on two annotated sentences, because band one is always the vocabulary of reading a business situation: what is sold, what it costs, what is left. The worked examples use round numbers a pupil can check in their head, and no real business is named anywhere in the book.
Every key stage closes on a page about using the words. The words the assessment is written in, taken from Ofqual's assessment objectives where they are theirs. The false friends: revenue is not profit, stock is not shares, and promotion means one thing in marketing and another at work. The same point written weakly and then properly, so "profit and cash are the same thing" becomes a sentence an examiner would credit. And a table of what each habit is called at the next stage. The book names no awarding body: the DfE content sets the vocabulary every specification shares, and which topics a specification examines, and in what depth, belongs to the awarding organisation, so a department should read it with its own specification beside it. It has not been read by a practising business teacher.
- Written to
- Business is not part of the national curriculum, so no DfE Key Stage 3 list exists: budgeting, risk, percentage change and simple interest come from the national curriculum for citizenship and mathematics, and the rest are the words a GCSE course builds on; the GCSE pages are grouped under the headings of the DfE's GCSE subject content for business (December 2015) and the A Level pages under the DfE's AS and A level subject content for business (April 2014); GCSE and A Level also draw on Ofqual's subject-level conditions, which set the assessment objectives used on the words-at-work pages; every term was checked against the GCSE and A Level specifications of all four awarding organisations, and 379 of 385 terms appear by name in one of those national documents or in a published specification, the rest being plain words of the subject defined in plain English; no awarding body is named, and a named model appears in the A Level pages only where at least three specifications name it
