feature of our \u00a0&#8216;developing entrepreneurship ethos&#8217; is our yearly Swop Shop Day. \u00a0This is organised by our Pupil Leadership Team and runs along side our Young Enterprise Programmes.<\/p>\n<p>The children are allowed to bring in items from home that they can either sell or swop. \u00a0In addition they can bring in a small sum of money that they can use to purchase items. \u00a0Each child gets a stall to lay out their items. \u00a0Once this is completed the trading bell will ring for the first time. \u00a0This allows the children time to go round and view other items but no bartering, negotiating or deal making is allowed during this period. \u00a0This session allows the children time to think about things they might like and ensures that they don&#8217;t make decisions that they might later regret. \u00a0When the second bell rings this signals the start of the trading session. \u00a0See below;<\/p>\n<p><strong>You will see that this event allows for
