Thank you for your hospitality and co-operation, and that of your staff and pupils, during my visit on 15 June 2009 to look at the Microsociety programme. The visit provided valuable information which will contribute to our national evaluation and reporting. Published reports are likely to list the names of the contributing institutions, but individual institutions will not be identified in the main text without their consent.

Features of good practice observed
The high levels of pupils’ enthusiasm, involvement and enjoyment in the Microsociety activities. The excellent relationships between pupils and their very good social skills. The excellent organisational and classroom management skills demonstrated by the teacher. The very good use made of ‘real’ experiences to develop pupils’ understanding. Pupils’ developing understanding of basic economics and business vocabulary and key ideas. The very good communication and listening skills shown by pupils. The use made of adults other than teachers, such as the school bursar and local business people to support and enrich learning. The good use made of Microsociety to provide contexts to develop other areas of the curriculum, such as citizenship, writing, numeracy and information technology.
