CBBC Productions are currently testing a new programme idea where children aged 10-14 pitch their business idea to a "brainbank" of young entrepreneurs.

You will have 2 minutes to impress the Brain-Bank with a pitch. If they like your pitch, you could earn a month's worth of pocket money to develop your business idea, with the help of a young entrepreneur working with you.

I have been approached by CBBC Productions to find 3 or 4 business ideas, that could be used to help test the programme format, before it goes live. We would need to go to Media City for filming on Wednesday 22 April, and then either Thursday 23 or Friday 24 April.

This means - that if you are interested in pitching your idea, you need to e-mail me an outline of your business idea, and why you think that you would need a month's worth of pocket money to help you develop your business proposal. Everybody who puts forward a proposal will gain house points, but four ideas will be chosen to put to the CBBC production team.

However, this needs to happen fast. I will need your business ideas e-mailed to me by 12.00 mid-day this Thursday 2nd April. If you are one of the successful four ideas, I will then need to get in touch with your parents to get permission for you to be involved with the programme.

This is a really exciting opportunity, so let's do it! Pitch that business idea!

My e -mail adress is [email protected].

Thank you and good luck.

The school's first Enrichment Day of the new academic year will take place on Friday 24th October 2014. The timetable will be collapsed for the day and students will take part in a variety of enrichment activities. It should prove to be a useful and rewarding day for pupils. Please note that full school uniform should be worn as normal and we ask pupils to bring any spare change they have for the Sixth Form fundraising event during the day.

Please see below for further details.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Kind regards,

Mrs M Woodward
Assistant Headteacher
