Following on from the success of our annual Christmas Jumper competition for Primary school pupils in Cardiff, Jeffrey Ross (Cardiff estate Agents) would like to introduce a back-to-school competition which will run for the month of September.

We are challenging years 5 and 6 to create their very own property details / brochure to sell their home or school. The winning pupil will have their brochure professionally printed and win a Cardiff Monopoly board game with their School or Street name added to it!.

Each school will have its own winner, picked out by our marketing team.

Please find attached an example of the brochures used in Jeffrey Ross. The winning brochure will have:

• Photos 
• Use of persuasive language 
• Floorplans  
• Measurements of each room 
• Energy Performance Certificate (can make this data up) 
• A4 size – Portrait of Landscape 
• Presented digitally   

Why are we doing this?

Quite simply, as a company, we were blown away by the creativity displayed in the Christmas jumper competitions. As a local business, we understand our responsibility to make connections with our community. We want to inspire the next generation of estate agents and present them with a real-life authentic experience, in line with the four Core purposes set out in the new Welsh Curriculum. This project will provide your pupils with the opportunity to be engaged in two of the key elements of the four core purposes – enterprising, creative contributors and ambitious, capable learners. The end goal will allow the children to understand why numeracy, literacy and digital competence are essential in the world of work.

Our industry has been the same for 60 years in terms of property display and marketing, so we welcome the ideas from pupils that are ‘free thinkers’ and able to approach this challenge with fresh eyes.

To launch the competition, I would be more than happy to send a video to spark an interest, hold a Teams meeting with them or come in to speak to the children in person.

We look forward to receiving the ideas from the estate agents of the future!
