All businesses need enterprising employees to drive their organisations forward, to have ideas and initiatives to instigate growth, and to ensure businesses success in this fast-changing world. Enterprise is a key government focus, forming an important part of the United Kingdom’s global economic status and is central to driving this nation forward. We want our students to access the opportunities that a career in business affords. 

We are immensely proud to offer a curriculum that alongside the knowledge associated with enterprise also develops character, bravery and an entrepreneurial spirit. Wayne Huizenga who is the owner of the Miami Dolphins American Football Team once said “Some people dream of success, whilst other people get up in the morning and make it happen”. Students who study an Enterprise curriculum at Newfield School will make their ideas a reality and their dreams a success. 

At Newfield School our enterprise curriculum develops sector specific knowledge and technical skills in a practical learning environment. The sector specific enterprise knowledge and skills provide a progression pathway into a number of roles in an organisation, and are transferable into all businesses. Through vocational context acquire skills by studying the knowledge, behaviours and traits related to researching, setting up, running and reviewing an enterprise. Realistic work scenarios are used to promote the key business acumen in the areas of market research, planning, promotional and financial skills using realistic work scenarios, monitoring performance, time management and problem solving.

Henry Ford, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, once said,

'Whether you think you can, or think you can’t – you’re right.'
