Creative Enterprise
Walk Tall uses Creative Enterprise as a medium help less confident young people and build the foundations for them to start taking control, and responsibility for their own lives. Through Creative Enterprise, KS4 (GCSE) and KS5 (6th Form) students have a chance to learn the skills needed to become leaders, and develop careers out of their hobbies and passions in a safe, small scale learning environment.
Focus
We understand that not everybody wants to conform to a 9 – 5 job, or have gained the required ‘C’/’4’ in English or Maths to go to college, so Walk Tall focuses on developing the key skills that are needed to improve students’ confidence, teamwork and independence – putting them in real life situations, but in a safe, controlled environment, allowing them what is needed to become future leaders and even bosses of their own businesses.
What Students Will Learn
Students learn about how to communicate with others, present themselves to clients, make key decisions on finance and market their product & selves, before having the chance to put their skills to use in a practical setting where they a given the responsibility to start, and grow, a business idea of their groups choosing – the incentive? Keeping their profit at the end of it!
Opportunity
Students will also have the opportunity to improve Maths and English grades, along with taking up an option in Science, Employability or Performing Arts LAMDA to help further their ambitions and honing their skills in achieving mental fortitude and independence though Creative Enterprise.
