News: Planting enterprising seeds at Catcliffe

Year 6 pupils at Catcliffe Junior and Infant School in Rotherham were quick off the mark for their Rotherham Ready enterprise project with Parkgate Shopping. They will be using their £150 “Make £5 Blossom” loan from Parkgate for their plant business. At a launch meeting at the school with Parkgate, the class agreed unanimously on the name of the business – Flowerpot Kids. They chose the management team, allocated various other responsibilities, and decided on various promotional events during the build-up to the sale. “Their attitude is terrific, and we look forward to some really good results over the next three months” said Parkgate’s Operations Manager, Billy Smith, who is liasing with the school. “Once the SATs tests are completed in mid May it will be all hands to the pump, or all fingers to the soil” says Billy.
