Become the Financial Times Student Advocate

We are seeking two ambitious Year 12 students to represent BISB on the prestigious Financial Times Student Advocate Work Experience Programme.

Student Advocates will develop leadership skills and confidence by representing the views of students to the Financial Times (FT) and promoting the advantages of reading the FT to their friends and teachers. Advocates will have the opportunity to become the voice of students so we can better understand their views, vision and ambitions. BISB will also benefit from a more engaged and informed sixth form.

Student Advocates will be able to complete their role from their school, but will be in regular communication with the FT Schools team digitally. The placement runs from October to April, and we recommend that students spend roughly four hours per month on their role.

How to apply: Submit 200-300 words on this question to Ms Mann.

“Why is access to high quality information important to the BISB community?”

The response must not exceed 300 words, the format and style of the response is left to the imagination of the student. The responses will be judged blind by a panel of teachers and the best two will be nominated to the FT.

Deadline: 9am Tuesday, September 28th.
