From Alan Maskell, Head of Business Studies: “I would like to confirm May 11th as the date that I have organised sufficient rooms for you (and Duncan I hope) to do a session on Case Study. 60 – 65 students on the course at the moment. It was officially released today so a copy will wing its way to you. Alternatively it is on the AQA website. http://www.aqa.org.uk/qual/gceasa/bus_assess.html”

Nick Sennett, Head of Business Studies and Economics, wrote: “I am beginning to plan some revision for the AS/A level Business Studies girls for May. The AS girls go on study leave on May 7th so would like to fit it in either that or the following week. We will probably get the tutor2u pre-case study notes as last year, but I thought your sessions were particularly engaging and the feedback was very good. I would envisage a similar type of day, i.e. the AS girls in the morning (with some of the A level students dropping in for the marketing/finance sessions), followed by A level in the afternoon (corporate strategy). The case studies will be released on the 19th March I believe. Can you advise me of your terms and availability? “
