Pupils learn how The Mall is run
Ardley Hill Academy pupils learnt the ins and outs of The Mall on Wednesday, February 11, as part of the National Children’s Commissioner Takeover Day.
Year 5 pupils from the Dunstable School took a tour around the shopping centre and learnt the day to day duties of the marketing, security, maintenance and admin teams.
Headteacher Susie Bennett, said: “It has been a really good experience for the children, they learnt how The Mall is run and the importance of each role, they have had a great time and learnt a lot about working.”
The pupils designed a poster of what they think the shopping centre will look like in 100 years time, the work is now on display.
Kate Staniforth, The Mall marketing manager, said: “It has been a great day. the children have enjoyed seeing how The Mall is run and were interested in the talks.”
