Economics Society
Together with pupils from Larkmead, St Helen’s, OLA
and Headington School we invite speakers from the

understand the practical application of some of the
ideas they have learnt about in class.

in the national YE competition, selling goods or
services to the real world and to customers who
demand quality and competitive prices. This is
an activity for highly motivated individuals with
entrepreneurial instincts. There is also an
opportunity for YE product design.

skills in this language.
During our weekly meeting current affairs in Spanish-speaking
countries are discussed, certain aspects of the Spanish
grammar are covered and a deeper understanding of the
Hispanic world is gained.
