A FAST food outlet has laid down the gauntlet to schools across London to design a new item for its menu.

Crown Woods School in Riefield Road, Eltham and Sedgehill School in Sedgehill Road, Lewisham have signed up to SUBWAY’s Design A Sub initiative.

The sandwich chain launched the initiative to students to create the best marketing campaign and business plan around their new Sub.

A prize of £1,000 and the honour of having their campaign and Sub design launched in SUBWAY stores across the region will be awarded to the winner.

Business Studies teacher at Crown Woods School, Lindsey East said:“The students have been really inspired by this challenge. It’s a great experience for them and is innovative and fun.”
