GCSE Applied Business Students run their own Social Enterprise as a young cooperative: activities include fair Trade stalls, offering business guidance to year 7 and Campaigns for ethical decisions on carbon emmissions.

A group of vibrant female Year 7 entrepreneurs whose mission is to be ‘enterprising for a better future’.

We are raising money for developing countries through the sale of t-shirts and babygros. We formed ‘Happy Earth Co’ and put a new twist on the slogan t-shirt. Buyers can show the world that their t-shirt has helped buy a goat for an African community or their tea towel has helped buy a well. They can even dress their new born in an ethical babygro! We plan to use existing connections with charities such as Oxfam and to build new connections to grow the business further.

We are the proud inventors of The Mop-a-sock. It is a cleaning product that you WEAR! You simply put a sock on each of your feet and clean as you walk! The re-usable socks are made either from recycled towelling (old bathrobes and towels) whereas the disposable ones are made from strong absorbent kitchen paper made from 100% recycled paper. Cleaning this way is not only fun and environmentally sound, but also great on your back – no bending or stretching required!
