Please see the Learning Map for information on topics that pupils will be studying during their first 3 years in Business and Administration. 

During the first year at Lockerbie Academy, we build on the IT skills and knowledge learned in Primary to develop their skill set and improve upon their critical thinking skills. Pupils will experience learning outcomes from Business, Administration and IT. This may include coding, animation, busines projects and various applications of Microsoft Office.

Throughout the BGE courses, pupils will be tested on their knowledge gained at the end of each block of work. They should receive homework regularly throughout the year and this could be a written piece of work, on Teams or it could involve an online quiz. 

At the end of S2, teachers will then use evidence of work and assessments gathered during the BGE course, plus teacher knowledge of the pupil in order to make a recommendation for study in S3. Pupils can be recommended to study either Business or Administration, or may be recommended for both. They can then choose to continue to their appropriate National course in S4.
