St Mary’s have been awarded a new flag for their participation and successful completion of the Junior Entrepreneur Programme.  An outstanding achievement for Ms Kelly’s Fifth Class and all involved.

Junior Entrepreneur Programme (JEP) has given the pupils of St Mary’s the opportunity to experience practical, real-life business learning as part of their formative education.

JEP nurtures creativity, independence and problem-solving among pupils of all abilities.

Under their teacher’s guidance, and with the inspiration of local entrepreneurs, children discover their strengths as individuals and as part of a team. Together, they choose, invest in and produce their own product or service from scratch, all the way to making it available for sale at a school-hosted JEP Showcase Day.
