Choose the competition window that best fits your timetable. Our standard windows follow the school year, Autumn, Spring and Summer terms, while the Flexi and Talentino windows run over a longer period, providing additional flexibility for our Enterprise Academy students (PJEA) and those with SEND.
Next, select the category that matches your students’ key stage: Key Stage 1 & 2, Key Stage 3-4, or Key Stage 5. If you are entering through the Flexi or Talentino windows, simply choose that category.
Your business plan outlines the key elements of your business, including your projected profit and the amount of the goodwill loan you require. Once you have completed it, submit it for review by your lead teacher. If everything is in order, your lead teacher will approve it by the business plan deadline, and it will automatically be submitted to the PJF for review.
At the end of trading, students will submit an evaluation and repay their goodwill loan, if they have broken even or made a profit. You can tell us a bit more about your business journey and the skills you have developed and demonstrated along the way.
