Social experience
The Academy School is undeniably hard work - but this doesn't prevent the week from also being thoroughly enjoyable.
There is a varied programme of social events throughout the week, providing a well-earned diversion from the pressures of the programme.
On Thursday comes the social high point of the week, the Summer School Ball, a black-tie dinner in College Hall complete with entertainment, followed by dancing in a marquee in the Liddon Quad. The Ball is a chance to unwind before the culmination of the School, the review of the business exercise on Friday morning.

I applied for the Masters scholarship because I am responsible for more areas of the business now and felt I needed the skills to be able to step out and objectively review the business and gain the confidence to question how good we really are.
Lindsay Newton, Maureen Cookson -
The Masters opened my eyes to what the retail market will be like in the future, so I can prepare to meet my customers' needs.
Jim Luck, Luck of Louth -
Best self development I have 'engaged' with in a long time.
Helen Edwards, M&Co -
It has been a fantastic learning opportunity and I would encourage anyone wishing to widen their retail understanding and commerciality to attend.
Tracy Venner, John Lewis -
My own self belief has risen 100% - I can do more, I am a great manager.
Clare Wallace, The Disney Store
