On Tuesday 28^th January and Tuesday 4^th February  30 Year 7 pupils had the opportunity to take part in the M&G Enterprise Challenge. The aim of the day was to act as large-scale event organisers in charge of arranging a pop concert for 10,000 young people. Pupils had to demonstrate their employability skills throughout the day to work effectively as a team to plan their concert and then present to the rest of the class their choices.

Firstly the pupils had to conduct their market research by creating a questionnaire to decide on different aspects of the concert such as the type of food and music on offer. After collecting the results of the questionnaire they displayed their results using a bar chart. Next the pupils had to decide on the most important part of any concert, the set list, ensuring they had enough acts to last the length of the concert and to keep track of the total cost. Finally the students set their ticket price to ensure they made a profit and the long awaited stage design commenced using nets of 3D shapes. The students worked excellently together and all were awarded employability points.
