The ‘Crafty Arts’ team, made up from Year 6 pupils, set up their business which encouraged young people to channel their artistic flair and creativity. The team raised over £300 of profits.

Alice, Arabella, Poppy, Tyler E, Tyler B, Daniel, Leah and William will head down to London this November, to attend the national finals of the Tycoon Enterprise Competition.

The competition was first launched in 2012 by Peter Jones CBE and provides a start-up loan for pupils to set up and operate a business whilst at school or college.

The competition helps students develop their entrepreneurial skills and provides a hands-on experience of what running a business entails.
