On 16 June, the Economics department held the inaugural Charterhouse 2.0 monetary policy competition. Teams of Year 12 pupils were set the task of producing a 10 minute presentation on how they would control inflation if they were the Bank of England. The competition was hugely popular, with 10 teams entering – accounting for more than half of all economists in the year group!

There was a packed audience of pupils, parents and staff for our visit from bestselling author Raynor Winn on Monday.

The IB Diploma Programme has been taught at Charterhouse since 2011.

Our Year 12 A Level Biologists are currently developing their sampling and statistical techniques in the very special coastal environment of Pembrokeshire.
