A new ‘Eco refill business’ project in schools has helped pupils in nearly 40 primary schools across Essex to become young entrepreneurs, gaining key maths and business skills while saving 1,600 plastic containers from landfill.
More than 3,000 pupils in Essex have taken part in our Maths Inspiration sessions this year. These were hosted in both in theatres and at schools, thanks to our Essex Year of Numbers initiative.
Essex is an extraordinary county for many reasons. We’re proud to serve the people and communities that live, work and study here. They are what make our county truly unique.
