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:
