Archbishop Holgates Industry Day

Archbishop Holgate’s Year Nine Industry Day

This month, we were invited along to Archbishop Holgate’s Secondary School in York to take part in their Year Nine Industry Day.

The year group were divided up into groups with each group member assigned a job role ranging from MD to Marketing Manager. Each group was then assigned a member of one of the participating businesses to offer them guidance and advice.

The brief was simple, each group had to create a new brand and then design, produce and market a pair of shoes with an accompany bag, t-shirt and key-ring (all while making sure they stayed within budget!)

Our group decided to create a new sports brand called E7, designing a futuristic looking pair of trainers with a matching back-pack.

Head of Year Nine, Mr Hunt, had this to say about the day: ‘Industry day is simply about year 9’s getting their first insight into the world of work. They have the opportunity to feel grown up and take on board all the added responsibilities of creating something under pressure and in a limited timescale. It’s an enthralling journey for all concerned.’

Maybe some of Year Nine’s designs will appear in a Charles Clinkard store one day in the future…
