Xing Smoothies Xing Education trains enterprising young
students to run smoothie bars in their school, supplying all the stock and equipment and empowering the students to plan, launch and manage their own profit-making business. North Liverpool Academy has been running
its Xing Smoothie Bar for a year and a half, giving Sixth Form students the opportunity to gain practical business experience. Here, the smoothie bar was a catalyst for setting up other student businesses, such as a hair salon. ‘Work Hub’ – an employability programme for Year 12 students – was then created, helping students develop the necessary skills and attitudes to prepare for full-time work or an apprenticeship. This 26-week programme means students have a portfolio of work-based learning qualifications, such as a Food Handling Certificate, NVQ in Business and Administration and Customer Service and Level One Sage Accounting. In its first year, the smoothie bar generated revenues of £2,500 and profits for the school of £700. For more information on pupil-run smoothie
bars and enterprise workshops in schools, go to

Eduprint Kings’ School in Winchester
believes that business, enterprise and employability are areas of critical importance for the way it helps shape the lives of its young people. Eduprint provided a cost-effective, large-format print and design capability within the school’s business and enterprise department, boosting its enterprise potential. Students have been able to provide a print service to local businesses, while the school uses it for promotional and teaching activities. Former Deputy Head, Gwynfor
Evans, explains: ‘We were extremely fortunate to find a company like Eduprint, who shared our passion for the way we prepare youngsters for the world of business. Pupils set up their own companies with appropriate business plans, and generate an income. Each company pays the “Kings’ Added Tax” (KAT), which is then used to support the school- based pupil reward scheme. ‘Although the delivery model has evolved into a more universal
approach, historically we have seen as many as 185 pupils across Years 7 and 8 successfully manage their own companies.’ The school’s Enterprise
Co-ordinator, Stuart Johnson, added: ‘The Lord Mayor asked the pupils to create a booklet for a painting exhibition that depicts Winchester old and new. They sold these stunning booklets on behalf of the pupils and made a profit of £120 – a superb example of enterprise.’ For more details on
