Money Week at St Edmund’s – Young Entrepreneurs in Action 2025

During the week beginning 16th June, St Edmund’s proudly celebrated Money Week with the exciting theme “Young Entrepreneurs in Action 2025.” The week was a huge success, filled with creativity, enthusiasm, and impressive displays of financial understanding from all year groups.

It was wonderful to hear children in the playground passionately discussing their business ideas and to see financial literacy come to life in the classroom. Year 5, in particular, delved into budgeting and explored the important distinction between needs and wants.

A special highlight was Year 4’s fantastic cake sale in the playground, where pupils put their entrepreneurial skills into action by planning, preparing, and selling a delicious selection of cakes. It was a brilliant example of teamwork, marketing, and money management in a real-world context—and a tasty treat for all who took part!

Another key feature of the week was the ‘My Mini Business’ project. The children brought in outstanding creations, showcasing innovative ideas and entrepreneurial flair. Teachers were incredibly impressed by the level of thought, creativity, and effort that went into every submission – choosing the winners was no easy task!

Congratulations to our winners, who will receive their prizes in school:

Well done to the Year 5 and 6 basketball team who represented Enfield at the London Youth Games at the SCORE Leisure Centre. 

We played several games against schools from around London. We played well, and we will find out the results soon.  Everyone played well and worked as a team!

Well done to our basketball team. We went to Bishop Stopford secondary school for a 3v3 basketball tournament. They played 5 games, winning every game and got through to the final. We played Grange Park in the final and won 4-2. We will now represent Enfield in the London Youth Games. 

Well done to the whole team, they played brilliantly!

Well done to the boys in Year 5 and 6 who played a cup match against Grange Park School. They worked really hard as a team, defending and attacking, with the goalie making some great saves. Unfortunately, we lost 9-0.

Some Year 5 and 6 boys went to the Powerleague in Tottenham for a mini-tournament hosted by Ballistic Ballers.

The teams were divided into two groups, group A and group B. We were in group B. We played 3 matches and one of them. We were the winners of group B.

We were through to the semi-final and we won! We were in the final, but unfortunately, we lost 2-0 to Starks Field. All the boys played brilliantly and enjoyed the afternoon. All players received a medal. Well done boys!

Well done to the High-Five netball team, they played their first round of league matches at Brettenham.

Their first match was against Churchfield and at half-time it was 1-1. In the second half, Churchfield scored their second goal in the last seconds of the match and won.

Our  second match was much tougher, playing against Raynham. They were good, and we needed to defend well. Unfortunately, we lost 5-1 to Raynham, but not without fight trying really hard. Well done team, second round next week!
