The Business Enterprise Programme is an annual event for Year 6 pupils, made possible thanks to the generosity of business experts from our wider school community who volunteer their time to run the programme. 

The children learn about finance, product design and how to present their business and use all of these skills to devise a product and marketing strategy for presentation to business experts.

This year the ideas were fantastic and sought to solve a wide range of everyday problems.  Solutions included an app to direct users to the appropriate care for medical problems, an intelligent cat litter tray, a device to keep bedsheets tucked in, a pet-sitter robot and using technology to link students and subject experts. Their presentations included marketing jingles, fully working prototypes and industry expert endorsement videos!

Giving a presentation of this type aged 11 is not easy but being challenged by the experts takes it to another level, particularly when justifying your financial projections! The children confidently answered questions on areas such as business reserves, potential legal issues surrounding their products and how their product would perform in a crowded market.

Year 6 pupils take part in an annual competition based on a television show about entrepreneurship where they have to create and present a business concept and consider both expenditure and profit.  Such activities support pupils' preparation for later adult life.
