Business in Buckinghamshire’s colleges and sixth forms
How Buckinghamshire’s Post-16 Landscape Shapes Business Studies
Buckinghamshire’s post-16 landscape mixes selective and non-selective schools with a few colleges. The council describes a grammar school system with 13 grammar schools, entered through the Secondary Transfer Test. Dr Challoner’s Grammar in Amersham and Sir William Borlase’s Grammar in Marlow list A-level Business with AQA, and Beaconsfield High lists Business Studies with Edexcel in its 2024-25 guide. Princes Risborough School, The Chalfonts Community College and Aylesbury High School also list Business, while Buckinghamshire College Group offers a two-year Level 3 Study Programme: Business at its Amersham campus, which is a vocational Diploma rather than an A-level. Milton Keynes is a separate unitary authority that sits within the ceremonial county, and Milton Keynes College lists A-level Business. Entry requirements vary and some pages we read were older prospectuses, so each provider’s current prospectus is the place to check. Draft post-16 transport guidance for 2026/27 says there is no automatic entitlement to council-funded transport after 16, so it is worth checking travel early.
That creates three situations we see often:
A new college or sixth form at 16 often means a new exam boardA student who took Edexcel GCSE may start an AQA A-level, with different papers and command words. In Buckinghamshire, for example, Dr Challoner’s Grammar and Sir William Borlase’s Grammar list AQA for A-level Business, while Princes Risborough School and The Chalfonts Community College list Edexcel.
Many start A-level Business from scratchBusiness is usually an option subject at GCSE, so plenty of Year 12s meet it for the first time.
Some providers offer vocational Business alongside, or instead of, the A-levelCheck each prospectus to see whether a vocational Business course sits alongside the A-level. We support both routes.
Providers are named for context only. Business Tutor is independent and has no connection with any of them, and course lists change from year to year, so check each provider’s current prospectus.
Whatever the board, every A-level Business paper is marked against the same four assessment objectives. Your tutor marks each answer against all four and targets the one holding the grade back.
Examiners reward students who apply theory to real businesses. The county has clear examples across motorsport, public finance and planning, and we use them in lessons.
Pricing & demand
Silverstone and the British Grand Prix
Silverstone Circuit sits on the Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire border. For the 2025 British Grand Prix, published prices ranged from £70 to £329 for a single general admission day and £269 to £399 for a weekend, with grandstand seats from £309 to £909, and tickets were sold with dynamic pricing that was capped. City AM reported in July 2026 that about 500,000 people attended over four days, while Wikipedia gives a capacity of 175,000. Prices are from the 2025 event and attendance is a press figure.

Interpreting accounts
A unitary council’s reserves
Buckinghamshire Council’s Statement of Accounts to 31 March 2025, authorised on 12 November 2025, shows a General Fund balance of £42.703 million, earmarked General Fund reserves of £207.051 million, £20.561 million of earmarked schools balances and total usable reserves of £330.885 million. The council set a 4.99% council tax rise for 2026/27, including 2% for adult social care, and the Henley Standard reported in January 2026 a three-year budget gap of £109 million.
Ideal for asking why a council with large reserves can still face a budget gap: AO3 Analysis.
Buckinghamshire Council’s draft Local Plan covers the period to 2045 and plans for about 91,000 homes. Its council pages showed a Regulation 19 consultation open from 23 July 2026, with submission planned by the end of 2026, though the pages we read differ on the timetable. Residents, parish councils, developers and landowners all have a stake, and we haven’t confirmed the outcome.

FAQs
Questions Buckinghamshire Parents Ask
Do you offer A-Level Business tutoring anywhere in Buckinghamshire?
Yes. All our lessons are one-to-one and online, via Google Meet, so we teach students anywhere in the county, whether or not their town has its own area page yet. Lessons run from a shared Google Doc, so nothing is lost compared with sitting side by side.
Which exam boards do Buckinghamshire schools and colleges use for Business?
It varies by school and college. Dr Challoner’s Grammar and Sir William Borlase’s Grammar list AQA, Princes Risborough School and The Chalfonts Community College list Edexcel, and several providers don’t name a board on the pages we checked. We teach AQA, Edexcel and OCR. If your board is another one, such as WJEC/Eduqas, ask us before booking.
My child is moving to a new college or sixth form. Will the exam board change?
It might. Schools and colleges choose their own boards, so a student who took one board at GCSE can start A-level on another. We’ll check the new specification with you and focus early lessons on the differences in papers, question types and command words.
Can you help with BTEC Business?
Yes. We support BTEC Level 2 and Level 3 Business students, helping them understand the grading criteria and prepare for externally assessed units. We guide the work but never write assignments for them.
Do you teach International Baccalaureate (IB) Business?
No. We support GCSE, A-level and BTEC Business with AQA, Edexcel and OCR, but we don’t currently support IB Business Management.
How many lessons will my son or daughter need?
Most students have one 60-minute lesson a week. Early in Year 12, once a fortnight can work; after February half-term in Year 13, two or three a week is common for the final push.
