How do we get the award?

To become a Social Enterprise School, you will set up and run a sustainable social enterprise in your school.

This will involve collaboration between pupils and teachers with links into your local community.

You may have one group of pupils leading on the project, or you may have a cross-curriculum group based on interest.

It is advisable to find the best fit with your current initiatives, themes and projects.

You will need to work on developing:

• A high level of awareness within the school of your social enterprise.

• A strong customer base amongst pupils, teachers and parents or local people (where appropriate) for your social enterprise products or services.

• Clear benefits for a specific community or group of people connected to your social enterprise products or services
