School Councils and Enterprise Education

School Councils and Enterprise Education School Councils UK Briefing Last Summer Term the school council of Hythe Bay Primary School offered each class a £20 loan. To get it they needed to write a business plan, present it to the school council and then fulfil it if it was approved. Every single class made a profit, returned the original investment back to the school council and then spent their profit on their classroom. They created this project as part of their response to Every Child Matters, but it also ticks all the boxes for Enterprise Education, and what’s more enterprising than killing two birds with one stone!

School Council Event Budget Form

This form will help students who are planning an even to create a budget to see whether it will make or lose money.

Another copy of the form can be used to record what is actually spent and made, giving an overall profit.

This works well with the action planning forms and guides.

If you want to suggest to your school that you could run an event, use this form and the SMART Matrix and you’ll be able to come up with a really good plan.
