A TEAM of enterprising students from Test Valley School came away with three awards at the regional final of the Young Enterprise Awards.

Since September 25 pupils from Year 10 have been operating a business called A-star through the Young Enterprise scheme.

On 15 May a group of five from the team represented the school and business at the area finals held by Young Enterprise at Oasis Academy Mayfield in Southampton.

The team comprised Michael Brown, managing director, Jack Davies, marketing, Lucy Scullard, company secretary, Jack Furby, IT, and Dom Raymond, team member and director.

The evening started with a trade fair-style showcase showing off their products and telling their story. This allowed judges to ask questions of each of the five companies represented at the event out of the 13 schools in the area which took part in the project.

The second half of the evening consisted of a presentation in front of the judges, invited guests and pupils participating from the other schools.

A-star came away with three awards for the best business plan, best company report and the overall winners.
