Hull faces some big issues and challenges – but now has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to regain its status as a dynamic and thriving European port-city.
The developing City Plan is about tackling these issues and seizing this opportunity. It’s about bringing the whole of Hull together to set out -
• a clear goal and ambitions for the city over the next 10 years
• what needs to happen, when it will be delivered and who’s involved
• how the lives and opportunities of local people will be improved as the plan is delivered
• what it will mean for the city as a whole and wider region
Therefore it has set up a group for education practitioners across Hull who want to ‘Be Enterprising’, to come together and share their fantastic ideas – inspiring our future generations and helping to embed the Big 13 Enterprise skills into all our young people’s lives and is supported by the Regeneration and Partnerships Team of Hull City Council. It is Chaired by Stephen Logan Assistant Headteacher of Malet Lambert School.
A key focus of this group is the promotion of The Big 13 - 13 enterprise entitlements devised to cover the spectrum of entrepreneurial skills through the curriculum that were developed with partners in Rotherham. The Big 13 are a range of enterprise skills and capabilities that are utilised during, and the outcome of, good quality enterprise learning. They were devised through the award winning enterprise education programme, Rotherham Ready, which now operates nationally as a not-for-profit social enterprise Ready Unlimited. A key part of the Ready Unlimited approach is to make learning about and applying enterprise capabilities part of children’s enterprise learning entitlement.
