The Sky High Enterprise Village was established by the school following Enterprise Week 2005. It is a retail park based in the quad of the school. Sustainable and student-run businesses operate from retail units during break times. Businesses include ‘Key Kings’ selling personalised key rings, as well as ‘The Cave’ which is a stationery shop. Our businesses are run as co-operatives.

Our club started in Enterprise Week 2007. We are running a social enterprise to support our partner school in Africa. Our company designs and prints t-shirts.

We have a number of small scale student led enterprises including a Fair Trade outlet, a Stationery Shop and we’re into recycling.

We are currently in the process of starting out company and we are looking to run a coffee shop on Focus Days for parents who are waiting to see tutors and also serve refreshments at school social events using Fair Trade goods. We also have a Training Room that we would like to hire out to external training providers and will look at marketing ideas to promote this.

Following Enterprise Week 2007 and the launch of a Fairtrade Shop, Hameldon Community College is continuing to Make Its Mark! The Hameldon Shop is staffed and managed by ten students from Year 9, selling FairTrade goodies: geobars, fruit juice, dried fruit snacks, tea, coffee and the occasional chocolate bar! The Hameldon Fairtraders ran events and presented assemblies throughout Fairtrade Fortnight which climaxed with a Fairtrade Fashion Show. The students have decided that profits raised from the shop will go towards a Fairtrade cotton farming project in India.

Students in years 7 - 11 are working together as a council to organise enterprise activities within school. Year 11 have a prom committe which organises the year 11 leavers prom. A fashion show is organised also to provide funds for the event. Year 10’s are involved in the YE Company programme and are running a fair trade social enterprise business in conjunction with partner schools in Uganda. Years 7 - 9 are involved in several projects. A farming challenge has them working with the East Hull Community farm to organise a Rock Challenge celebration event. They are also involved in the running of the school tuck shop. As a CO-OP school we are keen to promote Coop values and our students activities reflect this.

New club starting September 2008.
