Business

Mr Lovatt would like to thank the 100+ business students in years 9-13 who have made the effort to submit work starting way back in March and continuing to today (and knowing some of you there is probably more to come). Most have been sent in on time, some late, some very late (year 12) some at the weekend and some at "crazy o'clock" (year 12 again) – thank you to you all!

Looking forward to seeing you all again in September - have a marvellous summer!
