7N and 7M 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 four other Business Ambassadors that volunteered to take part in the session.

We were delighted to find out that two of the Ambassadors were parents of students that currently go to Chantry Middle School; Mrs Toward from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and Mrs Cuthbertson from Proctor & Gamble (P&G). The other two Business Ambassadors were both from NCC.

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.

7S & 7W will get the chance to take part in this activity later this year. All year groups have enterprise activities planned throughout the year so please keep checking our newsletter for the dates.

Well done to “Lucky Ducks” from 7M that were the overall winners. Members of the winning team were:

• Kirsty Davison
• Oliver Herford
• Grace Coffey
• James Kirby
• Ryan Ford
• Fay Reed
