7S and 7H took part in an enterprise workshop on Friday morning. Students had the opportunity to work with Carole Richards, Business Ambassador for Northumberland County Council. The students also worked with two other Business Ambassadors that volunteered to take part in the session. Debra Phillips from Galliford Try has supported enterprise sessions at Chantry before and hopes to work with us to give some students the opportunity to visit the construction site where Galliford Try are currently building new homes in Morpeth. Thanks also to Tony Kirsop who manages Social Enterprise Northumberland.

Students found out about the skills and attributes of a variety of roles within a company and calculated the profit for their group using their own records of expenditure and revenue of their own company. The students quickly realised the need for quality control in terms of their production and developed their negotiating skills when buying and selling stock.
Well done to “Bombay Ducks” that were the overall winners. Members of the winning team were:

• Grace Fyall (7H)
• Billy Rowe (7S)
• Scarlett Robertson (7S)
• Lewis Halliday (7S)
• David Lowes (7S)
• Emma Sykes (7S)
