On Wednesday 4th June, a team of seven Prince Henry’s sixth formers, who study either Business or Economics, represented the school against other schools from across the West Midlands in a competition run by the Chartered Institute of Finance and Accounting (CIPFA).
The competition took place at the De Montford University in Leicester, and was hosted by the Director of Finance at Leicestershire County Council. Students were given multiple pieces of information, and asked to create a budget for the council’s spending next year. During the day they had to react to a series of events, from which they had to modify their budget and give their rationale for why they had made the difficult choices. They proceeded to present their findings to professionals from the County Council and university.
Congratulations to Tamara Smith, Ailsa Preedy, Saffron Williams, Steve Unwin, Henry Ferguson, Tyrese Sibanda and Theo Mills who performed magnificently throughout the day and thank you to Mrs Gallagher, who arranged the event. Amazon gift vouchers were awarded to a deserving team.
