Posted on: May 13th 2025

Today, our students at Amery Hill embarked on a crucial journey into the world of personal finance, thanks to an incredibly engaging financial literacy workshop delivered by the fantastic team at MyBnk!

In an increasingly complex financial landscape, empowering young people with the skills to manage their money effectively is more vital than ever. MyBnk, a leading UK charity specialising in financial education for young people, provided our students with a hands-on experience designed to do just that.

The workshop was a dynamic and interactive session where students immersed themselves in essential financial concepts. They gained practical knowledge and applied critical skills in areas such as budgeting their income, understanding the importance of saving, and making informed decisions about spending. The MyBnk team fostered an environment that encouraged active participation and real-world application, ensuring the concepts resonated deeply with our students.

Learning to make smart money choices from a young age builds a strong foundation for future independence and financial well-being. We're incredibly grateful to MyBnk for their expertise and for providing such an interactive and impactful learning experience. Their visit has undoubtedly equipped our students with invaluable tools they'll carry with them throughout their lives.

Year 11 Prom: A Sparkling Send-Off

What an evening! On June 25th, Amery Hill School's Year 11 students celebrated the end of their five momentous years with an unforgettable Prom at the magnificent Audley's Wood Hotel. It truly was a magical occasion from start to finish, a fitting tribute to a group of students who have navigated their secondary education with such spirit and determination. The evening began with a dazzling red carpet reception, a spectacle in itself! It was truly magical. The red carpet arrivals were a spectacle, with students making grand entrances in everything from tractors to sports cars, reflecting their vibrant personalities. Dressed in their finest attire, everyone looked absolutely stunning, radiating pride and joy as they stepped out onto the red carpet to pose for photos and greet their friends (and not an untucked shirt in sight!). It set an incredible tone for the night, filled with laughter and anticipation. Inside the stunning marquee, the atmosphere was simply electric. The air buzzed with happy chatter and excitement as students, reunited, shared stories, and soaked in the final moments of their school journey together. The dance floor quickly became the heart of the celebration, packed with everyone on their feet, dancing their hearts out to a fantastic mix of tunes. The students enjoyed a delicious BBQ buffet and let's not forget the endless supply of ice cream and the nostalgic ferris wheel pick 'n' mix. Everyone was fueled up for a fantastic evening.  Speaking about the evening, Mrs Winch, Progress Leader, commented "Whether the students were dancing to the DJ or enjoying the staff band, it was a pleasure to see them all on the dance floor enjoying themselves and creating unforgettable memories together. Our very last time as a year group, united.  I think you showed us all how to party!"  With heartfelt goodbyes, it was truly a perfect finale to their time at Amery Hill, a night where friendships were celebrated and cherished memories were made. This Year 11 Prom will undoubtedly remain etched in the hearts of the students as a cherished memory of their school years. Amery Hill School is incredibly proud of all they have achieved, not just academically, but in how they've grown into such remarkable young individuals. They've navigated challenges, supported each other, and shown incredible resilience throughout their time at the school. As they now move on to their next exciting adventures – whether that's further education, apprenticeships, or embarking on new paths – all of us at Amery Hill wish them the very best of luck. The school knows they're destined for great things and can't wait to see the wonderful contributions they'll make in the world. Good luck, Year 11 – you've been brilliant!
