They will get input at the start of the day on aspects of this such as budgeting and marketing. They will also get input on how to present.

Students will develop their soft skills such as teamwork, creativity, communication and resilience. They will also have the opportunity to work with students they may not normally work with.

Costs
£330 per class per day plus £165 for a final afternoon.
It is possible to mix and match depending on the intake and number of forms in each school.
Each school will have one group represent them in the grand final so if schools have more than one form entry but choose for us to work with the classes individually then there will need to be a semi-final to decide on the school representative (discussed at the planning stage).
The winning groups will take part in the grand final in front of a panel of judges.
