- An understanding of key economic concepts and how businesses work
- An ability to make informed judgements about economic issues
- Individuality, intelligence, action, personal responsibility
- Identifying problems, discussion, planning, doing, reviewing
- Thinking creatively and critically

Enterprise Activities
We have a portfolio of activities at different levels of cost which schools can access through their EBP adviser. Annually schools receive our Passport to Enterprise package from which the school can select appropriate activities. These cover a number of curriculum areas as well as key stages. Ideally the activities will be supported by business partners and on occasions external contractors.
