new A Level - 4 November Bank of England webinar

Dear Sir/Madam

Please help the Bank of England map a positive future for financial markets

On 11 November, the Bank of England will be bringing together a wide range of stakeholders in financial markets at an Open Forum.  Ahead of the day, we are conducting a short poll across a range of different constituencies across the UK.

With your help, we would like to extend this poll to schools and to invite you and your economics and business students to take part.  The results of the poll will be used as a starting point for the day, and in particular to feed in to the opening session, which will consider the role of financial markets within the economy.  We would appreciate it if you and your students filled out the form online at http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/markets/Pages/ofpoll.aspx.  Should that be difficult you can also fill out a hard copy (available from Mr Gray)and return it to the address below.  The poll will close on Friday 23 October 2015.

Free schools webinar on financial markets for A-level students

We are also inviting you and your students to take part in an interactive webinar on 4 November on Why Financial Markets Matter to be hosted jointly by the Bank of England and tutor2u.net who are the UK’s leading online educational publisher.   The webinar will cover the A-level syllabus on financial markets and will give students the opportunity to ask questions live.  You and your students can register for the webinar athttps://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8958372512139742210
