Entrepreneurial programme sessions in Elementary School are often included in the curricula and are usually developed through the lessons of the main subject areas, namely, Portuguese, Maths and Environmental Study. Most programmes promote it during 1 session per week.

As a vocational school, we have no trouble in embedding this methodology and practice into our normal curricula. Moreover, we have specific time allocated for this in addition to normal classes, for example: Planning Class Councils in November; different meetings with the Project Operational Manager and the 'Pivots' (teachers of core subjects for the Project: each Project Class has a 'Pivot'/ 'Core' subject); Projects Presentation to the Community (scheduled for the beginning of each new academic year, this takes place every school year at UACS - Commerce and Services Associations House).

The school has a focus on Entrepreneurship for two weeks each November during and after National Enterprise Week. This occurs once again mid-June for one week.

From Key Stage 2 onwards (pupils aged 7-11) we deliver a wide range of externally accredited programmes of study. An Enterprise Club is run after school for two terms during the year, from 3.15pm - 5.45pm on one day a week.

There are opportunities to be involved in a variety of fairs within the community - one involving our local hospital and junior schools; also a gala.

We organise enterprise visits to places of interest, such as Landrover Jaguar, Chester Zoo and a local steel fabrication factory. A group of KS4 students attended a Dragons' Den event at a local college and repeated their pitch to a group of local business people which secured an interest-free loan of £500 to support their current business venture.

Groups of students attend local Enterprise events within the Blackpool area, including an Awards Ceremony each June. If we are invited to an event then the Enterprise Co-ordinator negotiates this with the Head teacher who is always supportive of this type of opportunity for our students. 

Our school´s subjects are Hotel Management, Marketing and Economy - Enterprise Education is part of all three. Junior Achievement Slovakia (JASR) activities can usually be fitted within these subjects although we also offer them in after-school activities.

Enterprise Education takes place during partly-collapsed curriculum time; our Enterprise Fayre takes a whole day, sharing learning with parents, community and children. Last year, the School Council also ran interviews where children presented their choices for how to spend the money they made in enterprise activities.

We have a programme called 'Path' in which all school students (years 7-15) are involved and work in mixed-age groups. All groups visit small business companies and students prepare a series of questions beforehand that they would like to ask the entrepreneurs.
