Enterprise is a key component of our Education with Character at Stockport Academy, supporting students in developing their Future Me skills including problem solving, financial awareness, planning and strategising and working as a team.
As part of the day, they:
· Selected a destination of choice
· Chose an appropriate aircraft
· Selected preferred accommodation type
· Sold Holidays to travel agents
· Went through the decision making process of a real travel company
· Created an airline uniform and company brochure
· Planned and delivered a business presentation
Prizes were awarded throughout the day to reward those who excelled in each task.
Mr Lewis, who leads our Young Enterprise group and also organised the day, said: "Our Year 8s really threw themselves into the activities of the day and reaped the rewards as a result. It was fantastic to see them work together and out of their comfort zone to create some really solid business ideas that they could explain clearly."
