Enterprising pupils
Pupils from Park View Primary School, Huyton started up their own small businesses during their Enterprise Week. Children worked in year group teams to design their business model with one main objective in mind – making a profit! Their start up fund was only £20 per year group. Before the children were allowed to sell any of their products, they had to present their business idea to the Park View Dragons Den Team of Miss Harrison and Ms Walker. Headteacher, Ms Ruth Harrison said: “The children and staff worked hard all day selling their products. Each year group started with £20, the total start up fund paid out by the school was £120. We still have orders coming in and some payments still to be made, however the children have managed to turn £120 into £1400.
