Developing Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is central to everything we do - through academic lessons, sports, enrichment activities and our rewards system.  We believe developing an entrepreneurial mindset will build the confidence students need to succeed and live a productive and fulfilling life.

To develop this mindset we focus on the following key attributes or "enterprising skills":

Entrepreneurship is embedded across all we do.  We praise our students when they have utilised any of these attributes in their everyday life in the Academy, awarding our students with certificates and points to go towards our BACA House System.  We believe that by developing an entrepreneurial mindset we will build the confidence you need to succeed and live a productive and fulfilling life.

We hold three whole school Enterprise Days each year, with a range of different activities across all year groups which focus on building the students’ enterprising skills.

From mock job interviews and business simulation activities to immersion days focused on art, healthy living or urban regeneration, the activities are designed to help students strengthen their core attributes, find new interests and build their confidence.
