Entrepreneurs in Action helped unlock the talent of young people from Hammersmith and Fulham as we welcomed students from Hurlingham & Chelsea, Lady Margaret School, Henry Compton and Burlington Danes at the event hosted by Phoenix High School. The event was buzzing with excitement as students from these five different schools networked with each other and worked in teams with people they had never met before.

Entrepreneurs in Action ran an innovative and engaging ‘Entrepreneur in You!’ programme to challenge students to raise their bar. Sales pitches, trading games, networking exercises and presentations raised the confidence of these young people as they discovered strengths they did not necessarily know they possessed – be it teamwork, leadership qualities or presentation skills!

We look forward to running this event across other London boroughs during March and working with Specialist Schools and Academies Trust to be at the forefront of developing young people’s potential.

 Sir William Atkinson, Head Teacher of Phoenix High School-

“This was a splendid learning opportunity for students across five schools in the borough.  The students entered with passion and enthusiasm and at the end of the day they were fully functioning mini entrepreneurs.  I am sure that the specific learning from the day’s activities will be transferable to the rest of their schooling and wider education.  I would like to thank Derek and his team for doing a fantastic job." 

Henry Compton Teacher -

Lady Margaret School Student -
