GCSE and A Level Business, sequenced

Year 10 · Year 11 · A Level · 18 units in all

Six half-termly units an academic year, set out as one sequence table instead of a page per lesson. The A Level scheme keeps the same shape over a longer span: six units across the two years, to the personal investigation, the coursework or the examinations. Every unit maps to the statutory content. The GCSE books run to 60 to 61 pages each. Most departments just call it a SOW.

Board-neutral by construction. No board’s specification is followed. The units map to the Department for Education’s own subject content, which AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel each have to cover however they order or label it. A department teaches this sequence whichever board they sit. A change of board does not mean a change of scheme.

Year 10 Business Scheme of Work

Sixty-one pages, board-neutral by construction: the core is the Department’s own subject content, and every week is tagged for one of Ofqual’s three assessment objectives (identical on all four boards at 35%, 35% and 30%). Six half-termly units across thirty-nine weeks, six purpose-drawn diagrams and twelve back-matter tables, including the twelve differences between the four specifications to check locally before September. The design decision is the quantitative spine: every calculation is introduced where the business reason for it appears, not banked into one finance half-term.

1a Why Businesses Exist, and Who Starts Them
1b Ownership, Aims, and the People With a Stake
2a Marketing: Finding the Customer, and the Four Decisions
2b Operations: Making It, and Making It Well

Year 11 Business Scheme of Work

Sixty pages completing the course, built on the same statutory floor: between the two books every requirement the Department places on every GCSE business specification is taught, and the build fails if one is not. Six units across thirty-four weeks, six purpose-drawn diagrams and thirteen back-matter tables. New content stops in March. The last fourteen weeks apply it and the last eight teach the examination itself, from the specification the class is entered for. The mock sits inside a unit rather than after it, so the fortnight that follows is teaching, not administration.

1a The World Outside the Business
1b Growth, Location, and the Cost of Getting Bigger
2a Judging Performance: Margins, Returns and Financial Information
2b Decisions Under Uncertainty
3a Your Board’s Own Words, and the Extended Answer

A Level Business Scheme of Work
