NEWARK SCHOOL OF ENTERPRISE NEWARK SCHOOL OF ENTERPRISE:
GOING FOR GOLD An exciting new school for 11-16 year olds is set to open at Fernwood, Newark, from September 2014. Majoring in science and business education, the Newark School of Enterprise can assure parents and children of individual attention: when it starts, there will only be a maximum of 150 children – all in year 7!

A new bike, subsidised transport, free uniform and free PE kits are among the perks available for children applying to the Newark School of Enterprise.

They run outdoor team-building sessions on an assault course based at the World War II Winthorpe Aerodrome, with 5KM and 10Km mud-runs. Sounds fun for catching some real adventure this summer!

Nottingham County Council research shows that Newark is losing out on 800 school-age students every year who choose 10
to be educated elsewhere. “This is the untapped market we are aiming for, “ he explained to the audience at Newark Business Club,” and it is worth £5million a year in government funding. How many new businesses could get that kind of funding? What a fantastic opportunity for Newark.” Savings on transport costs for any parents who are currently sending their children to out-of-town schools will also be considerable. A school is a large-scale economic driver, attracting millions of pounds of funding into the local area. The Newark School of Enterprise is a big enterprise in itself, expecting to provide over 100 teaching jobs and further contracts for
A new school will make a big difference to the catchment area in and around Newark. Research shows that residential house prices rise and inward investment increases at the initiation of a new educational facility. “Look at the difference the university has made to the economy of Lincoln,” said Andrew, “Newark could expect house prices to rise to the level of Southwell on the news of a new Enterprise School in the town.” We are currently welcoming applications from students and expect a full house and all systems go when the Government gives us the final go-ahead next week.” Parents should apply now to be part of this great Enterprise.
