A team of sixth formers from Plymouth College have come third in the national final of the Business, Accountancy and Skills Education (BASE) Competition. Held in Birmingham, the final consisted of 25 regional winners from heats that were held around the UK.
Nada Khalil, Oliver Foster, Phoebe Hirst, Harry Cobbold, Megan Jones and Katie Davies-Gregory made the national final after beating 15 other schools in the South West stage of the competition. In the final, they had to analyse accountancy information and advise fictitious clients on the best way to take their business forward. This was done via a presentation followed by a question and answer session.
Head of Sixth Form and Business and Economics teacher, Jonathan Shields, said: "This was a great achievement by the team. It was a tough competition but they kept their focus and performed well."
Plymouth College has a strong track record in business competitions - the school has won 11 national titles in recent years including Young Enterprise, Student Investor and Make Your Mark. Business and Economics pupils have also achieved the top mark in the country at GCSE, A level and DipFS on a number of occasions.
