On Thursday 19th May, Year 8 parents and families were welcomed to the ‘Shark Tank’ event which marked the conclusion of the ABE Endorsed KidsMBA programme. Every pupil in Year 8 presented their start up business idea to our guest judges consisting of Douglas Robb, Headmaster of Gresham’s School, Paul Marriage, governor, Mr Paul Devlin and Mrs Dee Whyatt, Prep School parents. There were a wide range of excellent business concepts, from affordable advertising to beehive rentals amongst the confident pitches. However, the winning group’s company, ‘Custom Forces’ – a trainer renovation business – was a hit with the judges.

By presenting at the Shark Tank, all Year 8 pupils have now completed the ABE Endorsed KidsMBA programme and we look forward to delivering it again next year to our current and new Year 7 pupils.
