Enterprise Bulletins | Enterprise Experience
Caludon Castle School achieved Business and Enterprise Status in September 2004. This has enabled our students to explore new skills, engage in the discovery of business and enterprise related issues and embark on many new challenges both within school and with our neighbouring schools in the North East Federation. We have also worked closely with our primary partners and with local business and community organisations as well as supporting a secondary school in Sierra Leone. Recently, we achieved Finance Academy status.
We see Enterprise as developing business and financial knowledge, learning skills and making ideas happen. Our aim is to contribute to whole school improvement by developing innovative, interactive, challenging approaches to teaching and learning which will enrich and extend learning opportunities by encouraging economic and business understanding and enterprise activities. Our students are also encouraged to follow a wide range of work related learning pathways. We are delighted that John Clarke OBE of Century PR is our Business Mentor and that Heart of England Co-op is our first Business Partner.
Students are encouraged to make contact with local businesses and organisations throughout their studies to assist in the completion of Portfolio work and to increase their awareness of the world of work. The Faculty has built up links with a number of national and local organisations such as:
• Cadbury’s Ltd
• Coventry Transport Museum
• Virgin Mega-Stores
• IBM
• HSBC
• Coventry Building Society
• Walsgrave Hospital
• Local nurseries and residential homes
• Training providers such as CWT
• Warwick, Coventry and Birmingham Universities
• Enterprise Insight and The Make Your Mark Campaign
• Local Enterprise Growth Initiative (LEGI)
• The Institute of Directors
• Young Enterprise
• Ian Neale Construction
