Tuesday 4th Sept - year 7 and year 10. Year 11 consultation day via appointment.

IFS Investor Challenge

/

The IFS investor challenge 1st round finished on Friday and great news, four of our year 9 students are through to the semi-finals, the 1st time any of our teams have reached this stage.  This is particularly impressive as they were competing against students up to age 18.  Teams were given  £100000 to invest in a virtual stockmarket that replicated the real stock exchange with the aim of making the most profit over a 4 month period. TEAM ARARAR will now compete against 500 other teams, from an original field of 5000 to try and reach the finals and be in with a chance of winning £200 each and an all expenses trip to New York.
