A fully facilitated simulation day for KS4/KS5 that turns your hall or classroom into a live company. Students work in teams, make real decisions, see the results instantly, and leave with evidence you can show SLT and parents.
Build for real classrooms. Minimal prep for teachers, maximum thinking for students. Gatsby 5 & 6 ready.
We run it. Our team facilitates the whole experience end‑to‑end.
You choose the cohort. From a single class to a whole year; we adapt the format.
Students run a business. They analyse data, pick strategies, price products, manage operations and people, and compete on performance.
Everything provided. Scenario, resources, leaderboard, and reflection tasks.
Students don’t just hear it, they do it. And that’s when it sticks.
It’s easy to run and fits into your existing teaching.
Clearer understanding, stronger recall, and more confident decision‑making.
No new scheme to write, no extra planning.
Mapped to GCSE & A level Business themes across AQA, OCR and Edexcel (and adaptable for WJEC, SQA, IB, Cambridge, BTEC).
Authentic employer‑style encounter with Gatsby 5 & 6 signposting.
We handle setup and brief you in 10 minutes.

Competitor events force students to adapt under time pressure.
Teams see their scored and facilitators highlight what worked and why.
Students capture what they’d repeat, change, and apply back in class.
