The children had a wonderful time during the preparation for Enterprise Day 2024!
Their entrepreneurial skills were certainly put to the test and they all did so well.
Modern life means our young people need to be resilient, innovative and not afraid to experiment - all important for entrepreneurs.
We are using Enterprise Day to develop a range of skills in our pupils. These skills include:- team work, financial literacy, organising and planning, using initiative, negotiation, taking risks, creativity and innovation.
A key part of enterprise is the making of goods, followed by the marketing and selling of these goods.
Take a look at our presentation / marketing videos and see what you like the look of 😊

On Friday, Wiggy and Kayleigh from the Royal Navy visited school. The day began with an informative presentation about the roles and responsibilities within the Royal Navy and the children were given the opportunity to ask questions. In the afternoon, the children took part in a 'Flarebox' workshop where they learnt about the use of flares and then they designed their own. Using a rocket launcher, the children then tested their designs on the school playground. We look forward to welcoming the Royal Navy back into school for some more workshops in the Summer Term.
