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.

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 setting up a school shop and have got local support from HSBC and Business Link. We also coordinate a regional network that supports the delivery of high quality continuing professional development in Enterprise Education for all teachers, leaders and support staff in Luton and Bedfordshire.

We have a young enterprise group who make goods and sell them.

We have girls making jewellery and “The Interact Club” who fundraise for charity. We want to start up a business club because we are ready to Make OUR Mark!

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.
