Young Enterprise Programme

I was delighted to be awarded PA Funding for our Young Enterprise Programme. The programme requires students to set up and run their own student company, offering a real-life learning opportunity that develops practical business experience, adaptability, entrepreneurial mind set and the employability skills needed to secure successful futures. Student companies have the opportunity to attend various competitions, the Young Enterprise Trade Fair and, at the end of the year, the students attend the Young Enterprise Area Final with the ambition of progressing to Regionals and even Nationals!

As the only state school in the Berkshire area participating in Young Enterprise, St Bart’s are keen to ensure that the costs of attending the YE Trade Fair and competition events does not become a barrier for some students. The PA funding is used to cover transports to key events and support with the purchase of materials for trade stands, their support is helping us ensure this valuable experience is open to all those who wish to benefit.
