Business Outside the Classroom
Some of the Year 12s took part in a field visit to Westminster Bridge where they were tasked with setting up a new tour company. They questioned members of the public, analysed the existing market and are in the process of preparing their final pitches.

Staff and students will be visiting the prestitigious Big London Bake in Tooting next Sunday, the 12th March. This will give them an opportunity to benefit from expert tuition and world class baking facilities before they bake their own culinary creation.
