This was the culmination of the hard work that began with our second Personal Development Day of the year. The two weeks between the Personal Development Day and the Christmas Fayre saw the Year 7 tutor rooms become hives of glittery activity, as our students prepared for the big night. The students were also tasked with selling as many raffle tickets as possible in advance of the Fayre, something that they excelled at, selling over 2,000 tickets between them and raising £316 from ticket sales alone. When our doors opened on the evening, it was lovely to see our students putting their team work and customer service skills into action. We were lucky to have so many friends and family visit us, and even a special guest appearance from Santa himself! It was wonderful to be able to show our students off to the community and demonstrate what they can achieve when they work together. Thanks to the generosity of our customers and the hard work of our Year 7 students, we raised a total of £1,108 which will go towards covering the cost of the St Briavels residential in the summer term.

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.
