LionHeart Challenge

The LionHeart Challenge is a Nationwide Enterprise Programme, acclaimed by Sir Howard Davies MBE (former Director of the LSE) and was chosen as a National Flagship by the National Learning & Skills Council for Enterprise. It involves students taking part in a high energy and high impact one-day Business Challenge which is delivered by highly skilled and dedicated Business Coaches.

Each Challenge day commences with the announcement of a cutting edge, highly technical economic theme. On receiving the Challenge theme, the 10-strong Year 10 student teams come together to develop a comprehensive Business Proposal with input from their Business Coach. All materials are provided by LionHeart. The Business Proposal must include: a full HR Solutions Plan for the team; a Product Solution which is based on the needs and wants of the target customers; a Financial Solution; and a full Marketing Solution. On completion of these tasks, the teams put together, practice and rehearse their Team Final Presentationt which is then presented to a panel of judges as well as their peers. The winning team goes on to compete in the regional finals.
