Enterprise Day - 23rd May 2025

On Friday 23rd May 2025 Mary Elliot Academy hosted a very special Enterprise Day, where all students engaged with multiple employers to work on Enterprise Activities.
We hosted representatives from Tesco, The National Trust, Performance Through People, RicNic, Urban Hax and Taste 4 Life. Each employer provided activities for all students to experience, such as making sweet cones ready to sell at our summer fete, designing tote bags, learning about the dental practice of dental moulds and making some delicious ‘Mac and Cheese’.
Whilst our students were engaged in the sessions, parents and carers had the opportunity to come in for a coffee, cake and talk about career aspirations and next steps for their child. Liza Jo Guyatt, our Enterprise Advisor from the West Midlands Combine Authority was also on hand to meet parents and carers.
It was a fantastic day and students are very much looking forward to the next day.
