The six-strong team of year-ten students called ‘Affinity’ set up their stall at the Wednesday Market in Montague Street.
Catching last minute shoppers in the town centre, the young entrepreneurs made over £40 selling products they designed, created and marketed themselves.

Affinity are one of three teams from Davison High School competing in the Young Enterprise competition 2015.
The enterprise education charity provides young people with the opportunity to set up and run their own real company with the support of a volunteer adviser from a local business.
Centre Lead for Affinity, Ann Warwick, said: “The students run their company as a real business venture and along their journey they learn skills and experiences which will be invaluable to them in their future life.
