Yalley school stages its own ‘Apprentice’
by Natalie Cox
A VALLEY high school hired its own apprentice. As part of Enterprise Educa
tion a t Bowland High School, Year 10 pupils-were invited to work in teams to complete eight tasks and avoid being fired to become “The Apprentice”. Each task covered a range of
business skills - pupils had to negotiate prices for items with
- members of staff, design uni forms for flight attendants, re market properties for sale, calcu late profit and loss and carry out a production task. After each task, the two weakest groups had to face the board and one group heard those famous words “You’re Fired”. Taking the place of Sir Alan
Sugar for the day was local entre preneur John Lancaster, pictured right, who questioned each group further before making his deci sion.
- He was also supported by the.
school’s own “Nick and Mar garet” - Peter Grange, a local banking consultant and school governor, and Mrs Allison Hill, maths'teacher and Keystage 4 manager. . — The two teams which reached
the final were grilled by the board in front of fellow pupils and staff before Mr Lancaster made his final decision. The aptly named “Branson’s
Technology” came out as the winners and for their prize they will.enjoy a tr ip to the BBC- News Studios in Manchester to . watch the news being filmed and tour the studios. Miss Emma 'Wilkinson, enter prise co-ordinator, said: “This
-day allowed all Year 10 pupils-to develop their entrepreneurial skills. One task required pupils to develop three new uses for an
■ everyday item. The ideas pupils generated were astounding. One group decided a balloon could be used for “Boil in the Bag” meals
