Potty for Pot Noodle: Year 8 Success

We are incredibly proud of our Year 8 team who showcased their entrepreneurial flair by reaching the final of the Trust Dragon's Den Competition. Their challenge: to design an innovative in-store activation and competition for Chicken and Mushroom Pot Noodle.

This fantastic opportunity provided our students with a real-world scenario, building on the relationship between Unilever, Co-op, and Co-op Academies. Our team demonstrated exceptional creativity and strategic thinking in developing their ideas. Their presentation was truly outstanding, delivered with confidence and clarity that impressed the judges.

Whilst they waited for the results, they had a fantastic tour of Angel Square, learning more about the Co-op's Headquarters, the different job roles available and taking in some fantastic views.

Though they didn't take home the top prize, their dedication, inventive concepts, and polished presentation skills were nothing short of remarkable. This experience was invaluable, equipping our students with practical skills in business, marketing, and public speaking. We are immensely proud of their hard work and the brilliant way they represented our school.
