Business Road Trip

Pupils enjoyed 4 hours of skiing each day in amazing weather with amazing views. The skiing conditions were fantastic. Pupils also had the opportunity to visit the centre of Andorra for food and shopping. Other activities included ice-skating and using the hotel’s leisure facilities.

Year 12 students enjoyed their business and economics UK road trip in May. They started with a VIP tour of the Morgan Factory production site in Malvern, before heading to the Welsh Mining Experience which included a trip down a mine.

‘The best aspect was seeing the levels of progression from every pupil. I had the pleasure to spend 6 days with the beginners group. The levels of support and encouragement they gave each other were amazing to observe. I am very proud of each of them, as they can now all competently ski!’ Mr King

At the Royal Mint, near Cardiff, they saw how money is made before they travelled back across the border to London.

Day 3 started with the 'Inside London Finance City' tour. Then onto the London School of Economics to listen to a private lecture with Simon Somerville, where he shared his knowledge of behavioural economics.

At the Museum of Brands students took part in a customer profiling workshop, and finished the day with dinner at the Old Bank of England Restaurant. They headed home via Cadbury World in Birmingham.
