Our Business & Enterprise mission statement

We will empower our young people to take charge of all aspects of their lives in a changing, competitive and volatile world according to their individual talents, interests and aspirations.

As a Business & Enterprise College we will enable students to leave STAGS with the qualifications, skills and knowledge necessary for the business world. This will make them independent and resourceful young people who will be highly equipped to take advantage of their future studies and to become leaders within their chosen field of work.

To achieve this we will:

• Foster a business and enterprise culture which will permeate the whole curriculum and provide enhanced extra-curricular activities

• Maintain our very high academic standards

• Improve participation and performance in the specialist areas of business and economics, mathematics and ICT

• Work in partnership with business and industry in order to utilise their expertise

• Increase the number and range of courses on offer

• Share and develop expertise and facilities within our ‘family’ of schools

• Give groups within our wider community access to opportunities for lifelong learning

Our students will:

• Have an understanding and knowledge of, and an enthusiasm for, the world of business

• Communicate and present information appropriately and with confidence both in their own and in foreign languages

• Make appropriate use of their skills in numeracy and ICT

• Have a willingness and desire both to compete and to cooperate

• Have the skills to plan, solve problems and take risks within an ethical and moral framework
