Partnership with Escape Business Technologies  
During 2005-2006 we worked in partnership with Escape Business Technologies to deliver a series of enterprise lessons to a P5 class.  The series of lessons culminated in mock job interviews.

Below is a photo of the children working with Robin Parkinson, director of Escape Business Technologies.

Bon Appetit Cafe  
During 2006-2007, the same class have put their knowledge to good use by opening the "Bon Appetit Cafe" in class to link with their project on France.

Pupils applied for jobs as accountants, waiters and greeters.  The whole class was involved in marketing using posters and visiting classes, and the cafe ended up expanding outside of the classroom and into the playground.  It was well attended by pupils, staff and parents.

Pupils served brioche and crepes wearing French clothes with French music playing.  Their previous knowledge of business gained in P5 enabled them to put together a sound business plan which has resulted in a healthy profit.

They plan to put the profit towards a trip later in the school year.
