with enthusiastic, respectful students who are eager to perform and succeed, alongside dedicated colleagues

who are passionate about delivering high-quality teaching.

With our recently opened sixth form, there are exciting opportunities to further develop Business Studies

across Key Stage 5, including the growth of enterprise pathways, enrichment options and real-world business

projects. This is a fantastic opportunity to make your mark, lead with creativity and ambition and shape the

future of Business Studies at Light Hall.
