The annual Business of Enterprise Project was launched amid a frenzy of activity from the year ten students on Friday 18 January. This fantastic project is now in its tenth year and is not only good fun, very instructive but is a wonderful model for learning. The whole year group dressed in their finery (i.e. smart business wear), looked the part and through a series of workshops in the morning received excellent instruction in how to continue with and fulfill the project's aims.

Four of Dane Court's students have been offered a place to study at Cambridge in the autumn. As a World Class university the entry procedure is a demanding one and students are required to meet not only the highest of academic standards but then they are rigorously interviewed in their chosen subject by college academics. 'Sincerest congratulations' to these successful applicants has come from Executive head teacher Paul Luxmoore, who said: 'These brilliant students have won offers against increasingly strong competition both nationally and internationally across a broad spectrum of subjects. To have almost half of the applicants winning places at Cambridge is a wonderful reward not only for the talent and hard work of our students but it is also an endorsement of the expertise of our highly committed staff. This is continued evidence of the culture of rising aspirations in our school community and also in Thanet'.

For the following months, the groups create, expand and finalise a brand new business with a brand new idea.

An ordinary school lunchtime transformed into something spectacularly memorable. Miss McWilliam reports:
The success of Friday's Flash Mob undoubtedly belongs to the Year 12 students involved. This is less the story of the day itself; you can see the finished product in the link below. This is the story of how truly special our school and our students are.
Officially, plans to create the Flash Mob started in September, but this is something that Etta, Abbie, Beth and many others have been discussing for years.
