Twenty-one years on, BP is still supporting us and we were delighted when they threw a ‘21st party’ to celebrate the milestone. Past and present staff came together with teachers and students in April 2015 for the 21st. BP’s support enabled us to develop new programmes for students up and down the country. In the 1990’s, BP staff were seconded to Young Enterprise to write the Enterprise Studies programme for ‘3rd and 4th formers’, and the Community Enterprise Programme was created as a result.
