  • Year 6 Rise Founders (Young Entrepreneurs)

    Published 16/01/26

    A select few children in Year 6 have been taking part in the Rise Founders programme to become Young Entrepreneurs. Over the course of 16 weeks, the children designed their own business. They had to find their target audience, select a product, market the product and finally present it to their peers and parents. The aim was to ensure the children learnt lifelong skills that they would be able to use as they get older, if one day they wanted to be an entrepreneur. The children worked incredibly hard, and we would like to thank Tirzah Elese (https://www.uconnecthub.com/) for all of her commitment and support in delivering the content. .
