BIRCHWOOD Shopping Centre teamed up with Locking Stumps Primary School to do its own version of Junior Apprentice.

Youngsters set up their own business stalls as part of an enterprise topic after being given some customer service tips from Birchwood’s retailers.

Jamie Vermiglio, deputy head at Locking Stumps Primary School, said: “This type of project is very exciting for the children. As it is linked to the real world the children become totally immersed.”
