Students from Felsted School's Sixth Form were invited to take part in an investment banking simulation competition organised by the Economics and Business Society.
The event took place at the school's new Marshall Centre for Learning, and was made possible through a collaboration with AmplifyMe - an investment banking simulator which collects data on how each student performs.
Students learnt about the skills which are used day to day in the finance world.

The simulation mimicked 12 months in the stock market over just 40 minutes - with news released every minute for students to analyse and react to.
Head of economics Richard Castle said: "It was a wonderful opportunity to put into practice some of the theories taught in the classroom."
