Neil Holbrook, a teacher from Garibaldi College, said: “Our students have really bought into the Junior Enterprise scheme - they started last year and are even going to car boot sales on the weekends to sell their products. It’s boosted their confidence and they are learning valuable skills.”

Berni Dickinson, Director of the Mansfield Learning Partnership which organised the event, said: “The Mansfield Learning Partnership is all about giving opportunities to local young people in the local community and this is the perfect way to achieve our aspiration. It’s great to see young people learning and having a fantastic time.”
