Each year, GCSE Business Studies students take a detailed look at two very different businesses to compare how they work.
They chose children's activity centre Big Fun as the local business to focus on, and the Business Studies team picked HSBC as the global business for them to compare it to.
Last term they visited Big Fun to help them understand how the organisation is managed day-to-day and earlier this week they took a trip to Priory Park in Hessle to visit the HSBC Business headquarters for the local area.
Head of Business, Mr Bell, said, "It may not be quite as exciting as Big Fun, but this trip is incredibly important for helping them understand the company structure, and how and why they make their business decisions."
Students were given an in depth presentation on how the business operates, including methods of communication and differences between different branches of the company.
They were then taken on a tour of the branch, meeting various members of staff and even discussing the psychology behind the design of the shop floor.
The information they obtained from this trip will form a big part of their GCSE class work.
