On a beautiful spring day, twenty seven of our Business / Economics sixth form students travelled to London. In the morning, we visited the Bank of England museum, where we learnt about the role of the Bank, its history and how it holds almost 400 tonnes of gold. One gold bar was even available for us to lift, it was very heavy and well secured to the display cabinet!
After lunch, we visited Chelsea football ground, where we were given a tour of the stadium and a presentation on the business of football. We learnt about their revenue streams, global brand management, costs and the estimated book value of their assets.
The students were tremendous ambassadors for the school and hopefully learnt a lot about the City of London and the commercial concerns of a premier league football club. Thank you to Mrs Gallagher for organising a great field trip.
