What is the School Enterprise Challenge?
Put simply, it’s an opportunity for young people to become entrepreneurs whilst still at school.
That’s right! Students take the lead to set up a school-based business that generates real profits which they can use to support their school, wider community or a social cause. From idea to execution - it’s youth driven the whole way!
During the course of the programme, students learn about business (market research, financial literacy, etc.) and they also develop essential life skills (communication, problem solving, leadership, etc.) that they will need to succeed in the real world.
Why should your school take part?
You’ll be joining a growing network of schools from all over the globe that are committed to preparing their students for the real world!
Once you register your school you can expect:
Networking and career development opportunities for teachers
Mini-Competitions to spark your students’ creativity
Certificates for teachers, students and principals
Chance to win prizes worth up to GBP £4,000!
Participating in the School Enterprise Challenge is easy and flexible. We provide all the resources and support you need to get started. Plus, there are no entry fees or minimum requirements - you can tailor the programme to fit the needs and interests of your students.

How does it work?
The programme is divided into 3 simple steps:
The money generated from the business is yours to keep and spend on whatever you like!
For each of the steps we provide all the educational resources needed. All teams that complete the three steps receive an Award Level Certificate (Bronze, Silver or Gold) and the very best entries win a prize.
Throughout the year we also run exciting Mini-Competitions that students LOVE!
What support will you receive?
Once registered, you will have your own online account with easy access to all the educational resources to successfully run the programme in your school.
The School Enterprise Challenge organising team sends weekly newsletters and runs regular Webinars and online Q&As for teachers to support you with the day-to-day activities and submissions required in the programme.
We also give high-quality, personalised support to all teacher who request it via WhatsApp (+44 7708 219089) or email (info@schoolenterprisechallenge.org).
