A team from Theale Green School were the winners recently of the Reading Young Enterprise Competition. The Lower Sixth students picked up their award at Reading Town Hall. The eight schools taking part were judged on their company report, trade stand and an oral presentation. Theale 's winning enterprise was a web design company and their own web site can be seen by clicking on the logo below. They now enter the County competition.
Theale Designs, a Year 12 Young Enterprise Company, having
won the Reading area award for best company, have gone on to compete in the Berkshire
County final, where they overcame serious competition from other Young
Enterprise companies to once again win the best company trophy. To get this far
the six Theale Green students have successfully run a web design company,
completed their final company report, participated in a trade fair and presented
an overview of their experience to a panel of judges from the business world.
Their hard work and perseverance has paid dividends; they will now be
representing Theale Green School and Berkshire at the Southern Regional finals
in Surrey.
Theale Designs reach National Finals!
Theale Green Community School Young Enterprise Company ‘Theale Designs’ has triumphed again.
The six year 12 students from the school have won through to the National Final of the competition with their Web Design Company.
To reach through to this stage ‘Theale Designs’ won the south-eastern final in Horsham, Sussex on Tuesday 19th June, beating over 420 other schools and colleges.
‘Theale Designs’ will now represent the south-east region at the final which is being held at the Savoy Hotel in London on Tuesday 24th July 2001.
Miss Munby, the link teacher said, "I am very impressed with the determination demonstrated throughout by all the students".
Ann Oldroyd, Managing Director of ‘Theale Designs', said, "We are all exhilarated with our successes so far and are looking forward to the increased level of competition in the final".
A group of year 12 Theale Green Community School students, Theale Designs, have just missed the top award for the Young Enterprise National Final in London.
Theale Designs, a web design company, won through from the whole of the Reading area, Berkshire area and Southeast of England to claim their place in the final.
The finals were held at the Savoy Hotel in London at the end of July. Twelve teams competed for the honour and competition was fierce from the outset.
Each team had to plan and manage a trade stand, undertake a panel interview with judges from various large companies and present themselves to an audience of over 500 guests, where Theale Designs had to complete a presentation about the company.
Theale Designs, under the direction of Miss Munby, consists of students Ann Oldroyd, David Lee, Tim Christopher, Tom McCourt, Linda Mackie and Matthew Tucker. They all worked incredibly hard over the three-day event and performed an outstanding presentation in the presence of Education Secretary Estelle Morris.
Unfortunately the team just missed out on the coveted 1st place and had to settle for fourth.
Although they were disappointed with the final result the team enjoyed the final and its ceremony immensely.
