PUPILS at Coedcae Comprehensive spent a day honing their business and financial skills as part of a joint Careers Wales and NatWest initiative.

Around 270 pupils got involved as Year 8 teams undertook a money management challenge with NatWest's MoneySense financial education team.

Meanwhile the Year 9 teams ran a virtual pizza parlour with help from Careers Wales.

Organiser Gareth Price, of Careers Wales, said: "It was great to see so many of these youngsters really getting involved and getting to grips with the challenges they faced.

"I don't think I've ever seen so many pizzas! We had some terrific feedback from some of those who took part, saying they got a lot out of the day."
