Classroom theory has its limits. The Business Simulator bridges the gap, turning passive learners into active thinkers by putting them in charge of a realistic business journey.
This isn’t just a teaching tool. It’s an immersive simulation where students make decisions, face consequences, and see how their choices shape the outcome of a growing business.
They’ll apply what they’ve learned across marketing, finance, operations and HR, without even realising they’re revising.
The Business Simulator drops students into a fictional business and challenges them to grow it.
They’ll select a product, choose a pricing strategy, manage staff, analyse competition, allocate budget, and make strategic decisions every step of the way.
And no two outcomes are the same.
Students compete individually or in teams, simulating real-world pressures and collaborative problem-solving. All while aligning directly with GCSE and A-level business content. The day is entirely facilitated which, we’ve been told, is “worth an arm and a leg”.
It’s easy to run and fits into your existing teaching.
Can be delivered in-class, as homework, or during off-timetable days
