Huge thanks to the team at Saffron Walden County High School and colleagues from ten other schools who travelled for a fun day of economics quizzing! Several people have asked me for the final questions so they are attached with this blog entry.

There were two qualifying rounds in the morning involving sixty questions on micro and macro and then the top four teams battled it out across two semi-finals and a final using the University Challenge format.

Saffron Walden won a close final against a team from Loughborough Grammar School.

Please do get in touch if you fancy running your own local competition sometime this year and might like some support. Enormous thanks to the indefatigable Nate Weersing for driving the day and competition with such aplomb. It was great fun and a real challenge for the students.
