Hellesdon High School

Dragon's Den Success!

On 10th November Year 8 History students were involved in the Dragons' Den final.

Teams of Year 8 students had been chosen by their classes to pitch Norwich Industries to the Dragons (Professor Terry Haydn from UEA, and former HHS colleagues Mrs Chinnery and Mr Broster). Students had spent time researching companies such as Boulton and Paul, Bullards, Caleys, Colmans, and Rumsey Wells and preparing presentations. There were some fantastic pitches and the Dragons were very impressed. They said that the students were a credit to the school in terms of their application, determination and politeness. The Dragons highlighted the amount of detail in the presentations and the confidence the students demonstrated. Well done to all the finalists! Many thanks to our Dragons and to the Norfolk Museums Service for providing our winners with free tickets - we hope they enjoy exploring some of the Norfolk Museums.
