PUPILS have been learning about the world of business this week as Great Malvern Primary School held its second Enterprise Week.

Classes were given a budget of £20 and challenged to turn this into a profit at a whole school Easter Market held on Friday, April 8.

Children suggested and voted on what product they would like to make, and were responsible for planning, design, packaging and advertising.

Each class will be allowed to vote on how their profits are spent. Proceeds from last year’s Enterprise Week went on a wide variety of different things, from buying a class pet to throwing a party or making a donation to charity.

Deputy headteacher Sarah Hanson said the children thoroughly enjoyed the week and learned some important skills.

“The aim of enterprise week is to develop real life money skills and business awareness,” she said.
