Effective management and leadership
The school also chose to implement an enterprise programme for Year 10 pupils with the aim of developing their economic and business understanding through one day placements in a local college in order to work towards gaining a vocational qualification. As part of the PGCE in Secondary Business Education at the University of Manchester, students take part in an Enterprise Week at Whalley Range High School for Girls, a specialist business, enterprise and sporting school. The Enterprise Week is aimed at Year 9 pupils and involves the pupils working and competing in groups to come up with the best business solution to increase attendance and income at the theme park "Alton Towers".
