On Tuesday 21st May the Maths department arranged for 40 Year 7 students to visit the Bank of England Museum.
The students enjoyed a very educational ‘Pounds & Pence’ presentation and discussed where they had learnt about money, how it was made, its uses – past and present – and why we trust its value. They also learnt about prices, including why they change and how the Bank of England stops them from rising too rapidly. The students had the opportunity to explore the museum in a very well behaved manner, which was commented on and praised by the museum staff.
This timely visit was planned to coincide with this years ‘My Money Week’ w/c 3rd– 9th June 2013. During this week the students in Years 7, 8 and 9 will be engaging in a week of fun financial educational activities in maths lessons; including understanding the difference between wants and needs, opening a bank account and saving, contributing to charities, a school based competition for Year 7 entitled ‘Life without money’ and some students will also be entering a national competition ‘The A – Z of Money’. These fun activities are designed to fully engage the students and help them learn to make good financial decisions in life.

This week’s Sporting Spotlight has been handed over to BBC School Reporters, on the eve of the seventh annual News Day, for an interview with Ledley King.
From lifting trophies to Gangnam Style – the retired Tottenham and England defender also reveals the first team he supported, why he would never have left Spurs if the chance had come up and recalls setting the Premier League record that he still holds today.
The 32-year-old joined Tottenham as a teenager after being part of the successful boys’ team Senrab, which produced the likes of John Terry, Jermain Defoe and Bobby Zamora. He is now an ambassador for the club.
Who inspired you to be a footballer?
It was just something I loved doing. I was very small when I started, just kicking anything around the house, a pair of socks, anything. Then I went outside and started playing – I just loved playing football.
I remember watching England in the World Cup in 1990 and seeing people like Paul Gascoigne, who was a great player, and I knew that was what I wanted to do.
Did your family support your decision to be a footballer?
Yes, everyone was 100% behind me when they realised how much I enjoyed it and as long as I continued to do my schoolwork and do well at school I was allowed to follow my dreams.
Behind the scenes at Spurs with Ledley King
What team did you support before you joined Tottenham?
When I was very young, my first team was Millwall because my best friend supported them. That was before I even knew anything about football – I just followed the team he did.
But after that I supported Tottenham and I’ve been at the club since I was 15 – I was supporting them before I joined as a trainee.
Do you play a musical instrument?
When I was at school I did – I used to play the cello. Most of the class had violins – I think they gave me the cello because I was quite tall!
