Claire Kane, Carla Watson and Simon Kelly from St Nicholas’ Primary School, Broxburn, West Lothian came along to our well attended Primary Business Meeting for Enterprise on Friday 28th October.
They talked about their award winning approach to Social Enterprise that has been running in the school over the past year in order to give North Lanarkshire staff a flavour of how to organise and develop a Social Enterprise approach.

Hi Everyone.
I’ve been getting quite a few enquires from new Enterprise Coordinators asking for suggestions as how to organise the pupils to ensure they have a say in the Enterprise activities within their school.
How does your establishment do this? Do you have a stand-alone Enterprise Leadership Team or is Enterprise covered within your Pupil Council. Have you had any particular problems or successes you’d like to pass on?
It would be really interesting to hear your views. Please leave a reply at the end of this post (by clicking on the ‘response’ part next to the speech bubbles at the top right-hand-side of this post) to briefly outline what you do/are planning to do this session.
This sharing of practice would be of great benefit to all – Thank you!
The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.
