On Friday 13th July, Year 7 students took part in The Dragons’ Den challenge with the task of creating a product or service which could be used at a festival. Throughout the day, students set up their company, promoted and defined their product or service and prepared their pitches to the Dragons. After voting for a winning team from each tutor group, six teams presented their pitches to the Dragons in front of nearly 200 people.
The four Dragons were, Emily Drew – the Community and Business Development Manager at the Academy, Guy Evans – Solicitor at Thomson Snell & Passmore, Andre Van Zijl – Area Director for Metro Bank and Simon Harris – Enterprise Coordinator for West Kent Partnership.
Congratulations to the winning team, Kit De Festival, who created a festival survival pack and well done to all Year 7 students for taking part, producing great ideas and showing fantastic teamwork throughout the day! Thank you also to Metro Bank for donating prizes to the winning team and to Thompson Snell & Passmore for sponsoring the event.
