Stride 2017
Stride 2017 culminated in a very busy week of Perfect Pitches, assembly
presentations and the incredible Enterprise Fair.
All six Year 6 businesses had the opportunity to promote their products and
services to their target customers at a Junior House assembly. The Mad Hatters,
Summer Surprise, Sugar Snaps, Salty Secrets, Teddies and Tombola and Flip'n'Dip
all made dynamic presentations, along with exciting promotional videos and
materials. The Junior House were ready to shop until they dropped at the
Enterprise Fair!
Next was Perfect Pitch day and the judges; Miss Townsend, Mrs Dimmock, Mrs
Brackenbury and Mrs Warburton had their work cut out choosing a winner, as
they were treated to six very creative and original pitches. The Year 6s were
ready to launch their products!
Friday afternoon at Kew College was a whirl of activity as the Year 6s set up their
stalls and prepared for the opening of the Enterprise Fair. It was fantastic to see
the collaborative teamwork, smooth organisation and responsible approach of
the pupils to this challenging endeavour. The crowds descended and the teams
demonstrated impressive marketing, promotional and customer service skills
resulting in a very entertaining and successful event.
The following week the Stride coordinators returned to Kew College to debrief all
the teams after the Enterprise Fair and present the awards. The coordinators
were extremely impressed by the achievements of the Year 6s and provided very
useful feedback, not to mention some delicious cupcakes! In total, the Stride
