Resource details

The Methodist Schools Office continues to work remotely. To contact office staff email admin@methodistschools.org.uk.

As far as possible business processes remain as usual for the office and schools. This means that should you have any query specific to a Methodist maintained or independent school your first port of call should be the school who is best placed to offer you immediate and relevant advice based on local circumstances. Please contact the main office number – 020 7935 3723 - to leave a message for the office staff who will attend to messages frequently.

Website details for all schools can be located on this website: https://www.methodistschools.org.uk/find-a-school/find-a-school

This resource works perfectly as a stand alone activity or as part of a wider range of activities surrounding the impact of disasters. This auction is designed to challenge students to really identify the difference between needs and wants.

Every auction is different! The winners and losers vary each time. Be prepared for this to generate a lot of debate. The auction will highlight key issues around fairness and justice. This is a great way to develop team building skills within your class and is suitable for any age from Year 7 upwards.

"Pupils really engage with the auction and are shocked when they discover that some groups have more money than others"

Assistant Chaplain, Ashville College
