We were delighted that Kamal was able to join us as our recent Awards Evening as our Guest of Honour and wish him every success in his new role at the BBC.Ĭlass of 1949 (Date posted: Friday 9 February 2018) In January, we were delighted to welcome back a very special group of visitors to the school. In replacing Robert Peston as Economics Editor, Kamal will lead the BBC’s economic coverage and will have a broad remit on finance policy stories including leading the BBC’s reporting on the Treasury and other finance stories for all news outlets. Kamal joined the BBCas Business Editor in March 2014 and has reported on the most significant business stories and interviews with key business leaders - including his Panorama investigation on what went wrong at Tesco following the accounting crisis. (Date posted: Friday 18 December 2015) It has been announced that former Drayton Manor student Kamal Ahmed (1980 – 1986) is to become the BBC's new Economics Editor. On behalf on the attending Politics and Economic students I would like to thank Kamal for finding the time in his busy schedule to come and talk to us.
Overall, the experience was a real eye-opener and solved many of the unanswered questions I had on the economy. He also explained the fluctuation of the economy and politics in relation to economic models. While answering these question, Kamal provided a perceptive analysis of the current economic state and described in depth the economic repercussions of Brexit, describing the consequences of Britain leaving the single market versus leaving the custom unions. He then went on to answer questions from students on a variety of topical issues including Brexit, Donald Trump and the financial crisis of 2008. He described the differences between Monetarism and Keynesianism, giving a brief history of the evolution of economics. He then went on to give a valuable insight into Britain’s current economic state through the explanation of the economic levers used by the bank of England. In the session, he reminisced about his old school days and the time he spent here. (Date posted: Wednesday 14 December 2016) Politics and Economic students had the pleasure of meeting Kamal Ahmed, former Drayton Manor student and current Economics Editor for the BBC. It was a fascinating presentation and we would like to thank Kamal for taking time out of his busy schedule to share with us his thoughts and opinions on such an interesting subject. Even he has been the target of some online ‘Fake News’, which really surprised us. It really made us think about how we portray ourselves online so that we create a good impression. He also warned us about how some businesses use ‘Fake News’ to get customers to buy their products.

We learnt what to look out for in the media, and how to identify reliable sources. Kamal Ahmed (Date posted: Thursday 29 March 2018) Kamal Ahmed, former Drayton Manor Student and current Economics Editor for the BBC, returned to the school to talk to Year 10 students about the difference between ‘Fake News’ and ‘Real News’ and the current economic climate. Over the next few weeks we will be sharing some more of Connie’s memories, including her life after Drayton Manor. ‘One of my earliest recollections of the school – I think maybe it was even just before I was admitted – was the school name spelt out in mauve and yellow crocus round the border of the semi-circular lawn in front of the school – a really beautiful display which attracted enormous attention from passers-by.’ She has kindly donated these to the school along with some of the wonderful memories that she has put to paper about her time as a Drayton Manor student. Connie was particularly keen to see all of our sports facilities as during her time here not only was she captain of the hockey and lacrosse teams but she also went on to be the school’s sports captain.Ĭonnie obviously had a great fondness for Drayton Manor as she has kept all her school books and documentation from her time here, including a request for her to come to the school to be measured for her tunic. 97-year-old Constance Riordan started here in 1932 and accompanied by her nephew she was given a tour of her old school – a school that would have looked very different 86 years ago. Connie Riordan (Date posted: Wednesday ) It was a pleasure to recently welcome back another very special visitor through the Drayton Manor doors.
