Developed in partnership with the Sands Centre for
Entrepreneurial Leadership in the United States, the
Entrepreneurial Leadership programme priorities the
development of four key traits that comprise the
entrepreneurial mindset:
Opportunity-seeking
Creative problem solving
Resiliency
Resourcefulness
Equipped with this mindset, students take on interesting
challenges that connect with their passions and graduate
with a competitive advantage. To instil this mindset in
every student, the Entrepreneurial Leadership programme is
integrated into the Key Stage 3 experience. Project-based
challenges in the classroom provide an opportunity for
students to build this way of thinking while practising
entrepreneurial skills in the areas of business, design,
and technology.
