Young Apprentice 2026
Recently, our amazing Year 6 pupils stepped into the world of business as they took on the Young Apprentice Challenge. Armed with a budget of just £15, each team had to decide what to buy, how to market their ideas and how to turn their investment into profit.
From planning and budgeting to pricing and selling, our young entrepreneurs put their business skills to the test as pupils from across the school visited their stalls to snap up their creative products.
The results were impressive. Every single group made a profit, with the most successful team turning their £15 investment into more than £60 in sales.
Better still, every penny of profit will go back into supporting school funds.
A brilliant example of entrepreneurship, teamwork and real-life maths in action. Well done to all of our Year 6 Young Apprentices.
