Our **Year 6 pupils** at **St Paul’s Catholic Primary School** have officially launched their exciting **Fiver Challenge 2026** — and we can’t wait to see where their ideas take them!

### Turning £5 into Big Ideas

Each pupil has been given **£5 of start‑up capital** to create and run their very own mini business over the coming weeks. From brainstorming ideas to managing budgets, this challenge gives children a real taste of **enterprise and entrepreneurship**.

### Real‑World Learning in Action

Throughout the project, pupils will develop key skills including:

- **Planning and budgeting**
- **Marketing and sales**
- **Teamwork and communication**

It’s a fantastic opportunity for hands‑on, real‑world learning that builds confidence and creativity.

### Thank You for Your Support

A huge thank you to the **Friends of St Paul’s** for generously providing the start‑up funding and supporting this exciting opportunity for our pupils.

### Watch This Space!

We’re so excited to see our pupils’ **innovation, teamwork and entrepreneurial spirit** shine as they transform their £5 into something amazing.

**Stay tuned for updates — big ideas are on the way!**
