Bromsgrove Yearly Reviews

Bromsgrove School has always been at the heart of the community, whether it’s raising money for those less fortunate or being able to expand their knowledge and expertise. Both The Young Enterprise and Flourishing Fiver programmes cater top this and once again, the teams have seen tremendous success this year.

Flourishing Fiver
This year, a team of 13 students comprising Fifth Form, Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth worked tirelessly to raise as much money as possible for local charity, Primrose Hospice. This activity works by the Hospice giving each student £5 at the start of the year which they can use in enterprising ways in order to raise more. Last year’s team raised just over £1400 and so the new team very quickly made it their mission to beat this accomplishment. That drive and determination never left them with them hosting more events than ever before. There have been numerous film nights held in the LRC where snacks have been sold, Page House enjoyed a Christmas Party in the Hospitality Suite and they designed and sold calendars including pictures taken by students in the School. All of their efforts have led to a total of over £2300 being raised, a record breaking amount. All students involved should be very proud of their efforts.






Young Enterprise
The 13 students which make up ‘Embark’ decided on their product of a balancing wine bottle holder early on in the process and have spent the year updating their designs and ensuring high quality. The team, who were originally selected based on their potential in interview, have truly flourished both in terms of the specific skills they have developed as well in confidence. Going from strength to strength throughout the year, the team took on board the advice they were given after being placed Third at the Worcester Christmas Market and going on to win Best Trade Stand and Best Overall Company at the Spring Trade Fair. The end of year competition saw them take home Best Company Report and Best Overall Company at the Area Final and the Best Company Report again at the Regional Final which was against some excellent teams. This year’s team should be particularly proud of the way they have come together as a team and most significantly from a business stance, the significant amount of profit they have made. The skills they have developed and memories they have made will now stay with them as they move forward with their education and future careers.
