Economics Enrichment Day

Pupils from Bradfield and three local schools spend a day together listening to lectures, going through past papers and receiving advice for exams. 

Pupils have lunch together and end the afternoon with a quiz. 

Aims

* Pupil enrichment 

* Staff and pupil collaboration 

Background

Impact

Testimonials below:

As a school we struggle to provide certain things for our students as they inevitably come with a price tag that we can’t meet, so all the work you are providing us is invaluable. Looking forward to working with you on other elements!

I wanted to drop you a quick email to say a huge thank you to both of you for all that you have done to help Theale Green School. Today I was lucky enough to attend the excellent Economics revision trip which I cannot talk highly enough of. Our year 13 students have had a roller coaster ride over the last couple of years, and the students who attended today took a huge amount from the day – they were full of compliments for the day as they left. A huge thank you to you Lawrence, and the team, for the significant workload that would have gone in to the event to make it run smoothly.
