As part of Enterprise Week, students at King Edward VII School, Melton Mowbray held a Charity fashion Show in aid of UNICEF on Tuesday 18th November.

The theme this year for National Enterprise Week is international/global and students chose UNICEF as a charity that helped children across the world.

Those attending will be treated to a glass of bubbly or a soft drink on arrival and will enjoy canapés provided by Café Italia.

Music for the evening has been provided by Year 11 Music students and tickets and posters have been designed by English and Business students.

Both staff and students modelled the items. Year 10 Design students designed items to enhance the clothing worn, all with an international theme.
