Year 7 Enterprise activity

2nd February 2015J Edwards

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.
