Enterprise

At Knox Academy we strive to prepare our pupils for the challenges that lie ahead in the increasingly competitive workplace, by providing pupils with access to a wide range of opportunities geared to ensuring that they develop the necessary skills and attitudes.

Our Enterprise in Education strategies include speakers from the world of work and the more formal activities of Work Experience, Work Shadowing, Vocational Experience, Young Enterprise and Senior Conferences.

A one-day Core Skills Conference for S3 pupils is one example of our Enterprise in Education programme.  This looks at all aspects of business, including communications, problem solving and working with others.  Seminars are run by business leaders and pupils take an active part in all activities.

New activities in recent sessions have included a Pro-share Investment Challenge and a successful S1 Enterprise Challenge which forms part of Activities Week.

The school Enterprise contact is Mr R Flood (Principal Teacher: Technology & IT).
