Year 1 have been exploring robots in their Computing lessons. They used the ‘forwards’ and ‘backwards’ commands to programme a sequence and predicted where the Beebots would end up.
Year 6 were delighted to meet best-selling author Matt Goodfellow and have their books signed this week. In their words, pupils were `inspired by his genuine message that all voices matter` and they loved hearing about his `engaging back story.`
Thank you to Coldfall Primary for hosting and Pickled Pepper Books for organising the event.
Thirty of our Economists enjoyed an inspiring day at Loughborough University for the Royal Economic Society’s Annual Public Lecture 2025.
After a campus tour and insights into studying Economics, students explored behavioural economics and game theory before attending the main lecture by former Bank of England Chief Economist Andy Haldane on Communicating about the Economy. He emphasised the importance of ensuring all citizens have a fundamental understanding of economic principles and the workings of the economy, highlighting a “twin deficit” of trust and understanding between the public and policymakers.
Our students were fully engaged, and Frosya N asked an excellent question challenging Mr Haldane on whether pre-budget communication should be “watertight” or a “genuinely open consultation.” as shared in a recent Sky News interview. He said that he would rather such communication be watertight, akin to the approach of the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee prior to interest rate announcements.
Our students left inspired, informed, and excited about the power of Economics in shaping the world. Huge thanks to @lborouniversity and the Royal Economic Society, for hosting an unforgettable day!
Our Sixth Form Economists continue to seize opportunities beyond the classroom, and this week a group of them took part in work experience days organised by Girls Are Investors (GAIN) - an organisation whose mission is to inspire young women to consider meaningful, ambitious careers in finance.
Students visited UBS and TwentyFour Asset Management, where they were welcomed by teams of women working across a range of roles in the sector. Each speaker offered not only an explanation of what their firm does, but also a candid look at their own career pathways, challenges, and day-to-day responsibilities.
The Q&A sessions proved especially insightful. Our students’ thoughtful questions were met with equally thoughtful answers, giving them a clearer sense of how different specialisms within finance operate and what skills are genuinely valued. More importantly, they came away feeling energised by the possibility that this world could be their world too.
We are hugely grateful to GAIN @gainuk_org, @ubs and TwentyFour Asset Management for opening their doors and for championing the next generation of female talent. The confidence and curiosity our students showed throughout the day is exactly what will carry them forward - whichever path they choose to pursue.
