During the day students also had the opportunity to hear presentations from Sixth Form students, Abingdon and Witney College and The Oxfordshire Apprenticeship Team. They are due to also hear from Oxford Brookes University. Mrs Dickson Careers Leader currently making their GCSE choices and with this in mind, these conversations with the businesses proved very useful. The new Career Strategy recommends that all secondary school students have a meaningful interaction with someone from business every year. These interactions not only inspire young people but also challenge pre-conceived ideas about jobs. Having the opportunity to talk to people in a variety of roles, helps the students to build knowledge and understanding of the range of careers available. 6 Term 4 2018 www.henrybox.oxon.sch.uk WEST OXFORDSHIRE SWIMMING GALA Our teams performed brilliantly at the West Oxon gala on 7th February.

Then came the political economy, the knowledge economy, and the information economy. Now, it seems, we have the attention economy. The notion, which goes back to the 1990s, is that nowadays people compete for attention as much as for money or knowledge. According to the pundits, attention has become a currency: it has scarcity value and endless attraction. As with money, only the naïve or incapable (or the truly wise) can resist its lure. In the digital age, to be a winner in the attention economy requires constant tweeting, blogging, and updating one’s status on Facebook; a hugely time-consuming business.

It takes account of proposed Main Modifications to the Local Plan which are the subject of consultation from 11 November until 23 December 2016 and therefore supersedes the previous draft IDP which was published in July 2015. 1.2 By ‘infrastructure’ we mean essential services and facilities such as schools, roads, water, gas and electricity and open space. Typical Infrastructure Types West Oxfordshire Infrastructure Delivery Plan 2016 1 1.3 New development often puts existing infrastructure under pressure, creating a need for new or improved facilities to be provided.
