Back to School at Cramlington Learning Village

Yesterday saw me 'tread the boards' once again at the amazing Cramlington Learning Village. Craig Knight (HOD) is a very good friend of mine and asked a while back if I could come in and help deliver some revision sessions on BUSS3. I was delighted!Craig and I delivered 3 interactive and challenging sessions on investment appraisal, ratios and ratio analysis as well as general BUSS3 exam skills with a specific focus on writing a strong conclusion for the 34 mark question.The investment appraisal session involved students looking at whether Morrisons could be taken over by calculating payback, ARR and NPV and it was really pleasing to see students looking beyond the financial data and looking at the qualitative factors that affect investment decisions. After two quick games of 'ratio thinking skills bingo' and 'spiderman ratio's' we looked at what the results of ratios actually mean and then applied them to real businesses.I had a great day and I would also like to thank one of the students (you know who you are!) for bringing in my favourite treat. Freddo's!Good luck in the exam!
