Here at Rushey Mead we provide various opportunities for students to experience Enterprise. We actively take part in the “Make Your Mark Challenge” and Enterprise in Excellence Challenges. As a teacher of Enterprise and Business we are now working on a number of exciting business ventures as part of our BTEC Award in Preparing for Enterprise. We are now in the early stages of setting up companies which include:

All cards are individually presented in their own presentation box and customised to meet individual customer needs

They have developed a range of stories in a book and CD format and sold in a convenient little bag. All illustrations are drawn by the girls, a really great business opportunity to be had with this one.
