Help Support Local Schools…
Yr9 Business students from The Sir John Colfox Academy will be looking to provide their products that they have been working on in the build up to the busy Christmas period. Students within class have been building their business plans and preparing for their first trading period. They look forward to serving the customers of Bridport for what will be the first time most of these young people have sold a product. Please come and check out what they have been working on and support them.
