Business Studies
Members of the Business Studies department are Mr C McStay (Assistant Head and Progress Leader) and Mr T Kinnersley, who also teaches ICT.
The department offers a GCSE course in Key Stage 4. This is both popular
and successful.
At Grove College Business Studies is available at Advanced level.
In all its courses, the Business Studies department aims to promote direct experience
and observation of the working world and the co-operation and inter-dependence
which participation in society entails and to develop knowledge and understanding
of the terminology, features, principles, theories, concepts, skills and dynamics
relevant to business activity. Links with the community and the world of
work through placements, visits, assignments and data collection exercises are
important. 
The department has good facilities and most teaching is mainly carried out in
networked ICT suites with audio-visual equipment.
Grove School also offers a wide range of vocational options
in partnership with local businesses and colleges. These
are described in the Vocational
Education section.
