KS3

Enterprise Education is delivered as an element of the tutorial programme in Years 7-9.  During Key Stage 4 pupils undertake social enterprise activities and also take part in a “Dragons’ Den” style Challenge.  During year 9 students have the opportunity to take part in The Ryman National Enterprise Challenge.  This is a team event with the school winners moving forward to take part in the national finals. Within recent years a Kings Edwards student was awarded the prize for the Key Stage 4 most enterprising female student.  This was presented to her by Lord Alan Sugar.​
