Our #8billionideas ‘Start Up Saturday’ event was a hive of activity with lots of great conversations and, of course, brilliant ideas! Parents enjoyed a business networking breakfast whilst pupils took part in a workshop focusing on skills, passions and dream jobs. They also learned some top tips for presenting and how to pitch their ideas effectively.

Our thanks to the team at @try8billionideas and to all of the pupils and parents who joined us. For further information on this exciting collaboration please visit this page.
