Young Enterprise profits spent on new playground equipment

For the past two years, as part of the Maths and PSHE curriculum for Form 6, the children have taken part in the Young Enterprise 'Fiver Challenge'. This is an initiative that teaches the children a range of skills and develops their financial understanding.

The Fiver Challenge:

• Helps to instil resilience from a young age by challenging pupils to work outside their normal parameters
• Builds early foundations for pupils to develop core skills including teamwork, problem solving and communication
• Introduces pupils to an understanding of finance, budgeting and the importance of money
• Provides opportunities for pupils to become involved within their local community network

Our Form 6 pupils of 2015 and 2016 have risen to the challenges put forward and worked together under the guidance of their teachers to develop a business project. In doing so, they made significant profit and chose to use this to purchase a set of goals for the children on the Muswell Avenue site. These have arrived and are now being enjoyed by all.

On behalf of all the children at Norfolk House School, we would like to thank the Form 6 classes of 2016 and 2017 for their efforts and generosity.
