That is all for now

Young Enterprise Celebration Dinner (Update)

 Young Enterprise Celebration Dinner  What a fantastic evening! As you can see by the pictures the kids looked amazing. The Park Inn at Telford who hosted the event was packed with students, advisors and business people from across Shropshire. Following a mini-trade fair the kids were applauded into the main hall where we were treated to a lovely meal. The Main Event - the Awards Ceremony As you can see from the image below all 31 teams were in attendance for the awarding of a wide variety of awards.  Nervous & Frustrating Wait  As the nominations progressed the kids got very frustrated as they were nominated in the top 3 no less than 4 times for the 'Safer Communities Award'; 'Best Customer Interaction'; the 'Innovation Award' and the 'Entreprenurship Award', before they finally picked up the award for ' Most Passionate about Business '.

Trade Fairs

They enjoyed the day and learned a lot about running a public facing enterprise which they took through into the second fair. They made multiple sales and confidence was high. Telford Shopping Center The secon...

and we are off!

Blast off! So we are one week into the new school year and both the BTEC and GCSE business groups are up and running. Those of you in the BTEC group should now have completed all of your UNIT 1 work and have submitted it to me for assessment. Those of you that have will be busily updating your work based upon my recommendations. Overall the work is of a good standard but there is a common theme in that you do not put enough effort into your work in terms of content, detail and evidence. When I say there isn't enough content I am happy with those of you that do less content but have great quality.  Sweeping Statements - No Evidence However, far too many of you make sweeping statements but fail to back them up. For example if you are answering a question like 'more teenagers and young adults are choosing to live at home with their parents.' This question had a variety of responses, from the unbelievable - 'this won't affect my business', (even though the...
