This year pupils from Year 7 worked with Young Enterprise on their Business Beginnings Programme. Andrew from YE and Mr Stephen Shaw, a parent volunteer, came in and spoke to the children on what is involved in starting up their own business and provided the class with some brilliant ideas.
The children worked in two groups. One group decided to sell a product and the other group provided a service.
Group one was 'Teriffic Teatowels' where the children designed, ordered and sold school Tea towels. Group two decided to set up a Photobooth at the school May Fair.
The children raised a fantastic amount of money which they were able to put towards their school trip, saving their parents some money.
Year 7's learned so much from their experience and hopefully there will be some entrepreneurs amongst them in the future.
A special thanks to Mr Stephen Shaw for giving up his time to come in and share his experiences.
