Visit to the Bank of England Museum and also choose between two presentations. We have been previously and their presentations are very engaging.
Pounds and Pence for children aged 7-13 years. ***THIS PRESENTATION IS NOW FULL***
“The Pounds and Pence film covers the history and purpose of money, why prices change and the Bank of England’s role in keeping prices low and stable. Children will enjoy the upbeat style of the film and the humorous scenarios which explain the points in an accessible and entertaining way. Using sheets of new banknotes worth thousands of pounds, children will examine the security features on these genuine notes and be encouraged to play an active part throughout the presentation.”
Keeping on an Even Keel for children aged 13-16 years.
This is aimed at GCSE level and would be suiltable for anyone studying economics or business studies or with a keen interest in monetary policy. This is NOT a “beginners” level presentation and prior knowledge will be assumed.
“A short film that uses nautical metaphor and animation to explain the Bank’s roles and responsibilities in an accessible, imaginative and entertaining way. The film is divided into seven short modules, which provide a simple guide to the Bank’s monetary policy and financial stability roles. The modules explain why low inflation and a safe and stable financial system matter to the UK economy and how the Bank contributes to achieving them.”
There is an overall capacity limit for both of these presentations. Preference will be given to children in the right age-ranges for each presentation. (further information to come)
Under 7s are still able to go into the museum (which is free of charge)
Please note that there is a £1.50 refundable deposit per person for the presentations (which will be donated to charity in the event that you cancel/don’t attend/don’t do the workshop on the day and your places go unfilled). This is because the bank reserves the right to cancel a visit if the numbers on the day fall below what was booked.
Please pay by personal PayPal transfer to: events[at]educationista [dot] com
Or, you may also make a personal PayPal payment via www.paypal.me/eventseducationista (please DON’T tick the “paying for goods or services” box)
(If paying by personal PayPal payment, OPT TO PAY OFFLINE, below, and please put your names and what you are paying for on your personal PayPal payment)
If you have successfully sent your booking, a little green message to that effect will appear at the bottom of the page and you’ll get an email from the website.
You’ll receive another email, when your booking is confirmed.
If you pay via the website, that is fine, too, but it will be £1.76 due to PayPal fees.
For those of you also attending the St Paul’s Cathedral visit, it is a 10 minute walk or a short Tube ride between the two.
Bookings
Bookings are either closed for this event OR you are not logged in (you must be logged into the website in order to book)
Hi there Lou, I can see that the Bank of England is full for 11 year olds but wondered if you have a waiting list for any cancellations ?
I understand that there may not be.
Debbie
I can add you to the waiting list – it is likely to be very short notice, though, because if people drop out, they normally do it the night before.
