Christmas Enterprise Market 2025

The Christmas Market at the end of the Autumn term, was a hugely popular event and a highlight of the term for many. Money raised is donated to charity and helps fund reward trips for the top three teams who made the most money on the day. This year it was extra special as the Market coincided with the opening of the new Willow block and guests who had attended that event were encouraged to come and sample the food on sale and buy some handmade Christmas gifts to take away with them.

This enterprise event is an opportunity for class groups to brainstorm ideas and come up with ways of making the most money. Each year, every form group is given an initial £10 investment, and they are challenged to design a stall concept to generate the most money from this investment.

Food stalls are always popular but there are also some wonderfully creative ideas including arts and crafts stalls, games and activities. The tombola and lucky dip stalls were extremely popular with learners but games such as the tin can bowling alley and sponge the teacher are also very popular.

There was a real buzz about the hall as the Christmas Market is also a chance for pupils to spend some money, buy gifts for friends and family, eat food and socialise at the end of term. Thanks to all the local businesses who donated to the event and to our families for their support.
