Section B: Business Implementation
TOP TIP!
These questions will give you the chance to show us how you actually implemented your school business.
Please refer back to your Business Plan template if you need help to answer these questions.
 Operational Plan: How did you actually produce your product/service? Please explain clearly your
production process. (10)











After brainstorming ideas and carrying out market research into our proposed product we created
an Action Plan chart which included time scales and staff responsible for each task. This took the
form of a Gantt chart.
We also created a staff rota to ensure that there were enough members of the team available to
carry out the tasks required and made sure everyone had their own copy of this.
In order to keep a record of our production process we created a stock list so we could keep track
of how much raw materials, semi-finished goods and finished goods we had.
One of our first tasks was to contact KIIT World School to establish supply raw materials.
Additionally many of us visited India in October and were able to purchase some additional fabric
while there.
In order to put production into operation we created a resource analysis and see what equipment
was available at school and if there was any other equipment we needed to borrow or purchase.
This identified the need to borrow a cutting mat and rotary cutter from our Consumer Technology
Department and purchase recycled card for packaging and natural jute string.
Our MD liaised with staff to ensure we have a work space available/bookable to meet and start our
business and storage for our products and equipment.
We also design prototypes and samples of products made from saree fabric.
Our marketing team designed packaging for our sample products.
We started production as per schedule/rota.
Our operations team is responsible for keeping the stock list and accounts up to date on a weekly
basis
Our HR manager ensures staff turn up for rota duties and nominates staff, who turn up for all their
duty and show outstanding effort, as employee of the month to reward their hard work.
Marketing & Sales: Did you actually sell your product/service to the customers identified on
your Market Research? If not, why? Who was your Target Market? (10)
a. To identify our target market we involved members of the school and local community by handing
our surveys to help identify the gender, age and spending habits of our potential customers, as
well as feedback on our products and methods of improvement
b. We carried out desk research to compile a list of local businesses that sell craft products as well as
businesses that sell fabric and trimmings. We also researched local art schools and craft groups
that might be interested in purchasing our product.
3
Final Report Template 2015
c. We used this list to help our sales team contact businesses and organisation by person and by
email showing them samples of our product or images on our facebook page. This allowed us to
take pre orders for our product as we did not have enough stock available to fill demand.
d. We also advertised our product by posters and word of mouth throughout the school to staff and
pupils and by email to parents.
e. We found direct selling and a trained sales team were effective ways of generating sales and pre
orders. All of the customers who had pre-ordered stock were happy to purchase once our orders
were ready to be fulfilled and many of them placed more orders which we are still working on. We
kept customers well informed on the progress of orders by email or directly.
f.
We also found our facebook page was a good way to communicate how our business was
progressing and show examples of our stock.
Please tell us about your 4 P’s (Product, Price, Place, Promotion) now that you actually started
your school business.

-
-
Product – What was your product?
Our product was recycled saree fabric that we initially got donated from our partner school in India
and purchased directly ourselves after we had generated some funds from sales. The fabric was
made into packs of 8 mixed design, fat quarters, tied with string and with a paper wrapper holding
them in place.
We made sample craft products with our fabric and also created organza bags of mixed silk scrap
suitable for card making or embellishments
We created attractive labels and packaging for our products including our own logo.
In addition to this we also hosted an Indian Culture Day where we shared our images of India,
provided information about our product and the charity projects we aim to support, served Indian
food in the café and allowed pupils to take part in such activities as making mala’s, stamping Diwali
cards, learning Bollywood dances and taking part in a dance off competition. We also used this as
an opportunity to sell off any remaining bundles and packs of fabric. This event was really popular
and teacher and school staff bought our remaining fabric packs

Price – What price did you sell it at?
We sold the fat quarter bundles for £12 retail and £8 wholesale (although we have managed to sell
them all retail to date) and the organza bags of scrap at £3.95. We decided on these prices after
carrying our desk research into our competitors and while similar products are not widely available
those that we found averaged £19 a bundle or £5 a bag. Our price therefore seemed highly
competitive and paired with the fact that similar products are scarcely available but there is a good
demand for them we were confident our pricing strategy was the correct one. We did consider
pricing our products cheaper but as we had a list of customers happy to buy at these rates we
agreed this would be a lost opportunity to make money while demand was strong.

Place – Where did you sell your product?
We sold our product through a local craft shop by approaching them and showing them samples.
They were happy to take a display box and pass on the proceeds to us without taking a commission
4
Final Report Template 2015
as they were pleased the money would go to a good cause and be used wisely. We also
approached a local knitting group who purchased several packs from us as did students and staff at
a nearby art school. The remaining stock was sold at our school directly to teachers, through a
sample on display and order form in the staff room and to parents who placed orders. We also
kept some stock available to sell at our Indian Culture day which proved to be a great opportunity
as the staff that attended were keen to buy something in order to support us.

Promotion – How did you promote your product?
We promoted our product in many different ways, these being:
by poster around the school which was a good method of reaching a wide audience with repeated
exposure to help reinforce our message.
By social media on our facebook account as this meant the page could be shared and we could
reach a wide audience outside the school, it also allowed us to keep people informed with events
such as our Indian Culture Day, an opportunity not only to showcase our product but to spread
information about what we are doing and why, provide fun activities for the younger pupils and
encourage more people to volunteer to help in the future.
By word of mouth and reputation.
By email communication to parents linking our facebook page and sharing information and prices.


Evidence: Please include here any evidence that shows you actually implemented your school
business; such as examples of records kept, press releases (if any), one-two photos from the
launch event (if any), one-two photos of the team running the business. You can get 5 points if

for any other additional information you want to add.
Section C: Challenges and Solutions
6
Final Report Template 2015
TOP TIP!
Your answers to these questions will test your innovation and creativity in setting up your business. Don’t
be afraid of writing about your problems or things that went wrong with your business. Recognising and
addressing problems are key skills for entrepreneurship.

What were the biggest challenges you faced when planning, running and/or implementing your
business and how did you overcome them? Please give us some evidence of your innovation and
creativity when solving these challenges (300 words max). (10)
 The biggest challenge we faced was time or lack of it as we struggled to fit this project into our
academic curriculum. It was also hard to get people out of class to work on the project as so many
of them had academic commitments that took priority. This meant that while people were
enthusiastic they were over committed elsewhere and the amount of hours they had originally
agreed to spare to help got less and less as studies took over. Many people failed to stick to their
rota of duties due to absence and other school activities.
 Getting our raw materials was also an issue as we quickly ran out of our original consignment of
sarees and thought is best to wait until some members of our team were actually in India to source
and select new stock. Once in India we found it difficult to source vintage sarees in Dehli or Jaipur
as we were unfamiliar with the best places to shop or the whole time consuming system of
haggling over prices. This is an unfamiliar concept to most of us and one we found difficult to get
used to. Because of this the second batch of fabric while hand-picked by us was not as large as we
had hoped and since our return, while they are more expensive we have found it easier to source
vintage sarees from the UK. A reliable, cost effective supply is something that still needs to be
worked on.
 Production also caused our operations director a headache as quality control and keeping the
product consistent in size and shape proved to be very time consuming and frustrating for us all.
Eventually we created a folding template which helped us ensure that all of the products were
similar in appearance.
Section D: Outcomes
-
How have the students benefitted from the running of the school business? Please provide
specific examples on each of the following areas. (5)
-
Taking part has helped some of us consider more ambitious futures for ourselves in education,
careers or life as they have challenged themselves and improved our confidence. Callum for
example has applied for a place studying business at university.
Many pupils have learned to be more tolerant and understanding of others through our teamwork
and by realizing a greater empathy for the plight of children with less life and education
opportunities than ourselves through our exploration into our supply country and its economy.
Running our own business has also given pupils an accredited vocational unit award in a
recognised higher level qualification.
-
-
-
Aspirations: Aspirations are defined as a young person’s ambitions and realistic goals of the future
for themselves and their family/wider community.
By running this school enterprise many of our pupils are determined to pursue a career in business.
One pupil has decided that further education is not for them and that they are ready to work now.
They are currently waiting to hear if they have been successful in a business administrative
apprenticeship position starting after Christmas.
7
Final Report Template 2015
-
Knowledge Skills: Knowledge Skills are defined as the facts, information, and abilities acquired
through experience or education.
-
Taking part has allowed pupils to learn by doing which we have found far more rewarding and
motivational than listening to classroom theory.
Running our own business has encouraged us to be more organised, practical and forced us to
take greater responsibilities for our actions, such as the consequences of failing to turn up to
duties.
Running our business has made us more aware of our own capabilities and limitations and made
many of us reflect on how these could be improved or developed.
-
-
-
Attitudes: Attitudes are defined as a manner of thinking, feeling or behaving that reflects a state of
mind or disposition; the way a person views something or tends to behave towards it.
Running our own business has improved many of our pupils self-esteem. Through working on this
project it has encouraged us to be more empathetic with fellow students and children across the
globe. We have realised the hardships and barriers to education that many other children
encounter and it has inspired us and motivated us to do something to help improve their
education and their lives. As well as this many of us feel we are more tolerant of others. We have
had to work together on a common goal and leave our personal differences behind us. We have
had to be patient and trust our team members to be responsible for their own actions.

How has the school benefitted from the running of the business? Please provide specific
examples. (5)
Through our business we have gained a closer link with KIIT World School in India. This has improved
academic achievements for teachers and pupils. It has also given us access to greater support for the
school and the wider community i.e has opened up new opportunities including forging good links with
local businesses in the community who stock our products and may be open to help us with similar
projects in the future, paving the way for our teachers and pupils visit to KIIT World school through a
common enterprise goal and in allowing students interested in studying artistic subjects the opportunity to
meet with teachers and lecturers at a local art school. The school has also benefitted from the valuable
contribution pupils have given to the wider community with their fundraising. The positive publicity
generated for the school, within the local community, through this project. The improved good will of
parents and their appreciation of how their children have grown and developed through being part of this
team.

Final Report Template 2015
Section E: People, Profit, Planet
TOP TIP!
Remember your business needs to address all 3 People, Profit, Planet criteria to win our Top Global prize.
Extra points will be awarded to the most innovative answers in this section.
 People: How did people benefit from your business?
Through our project we were able to donate £300 to support children in education or help children gain
access to education. This was money which would otherwise not have been generated.
We helped to create employment opportunities within our school to give pupils valuable work experience
and helped them to generate wealth in the economy which in the turn benefits their communities.
Pupils taking part in this project were able to use their volunteering towards gaining an officially
recognised business award.
We were able to support communities in India economically through the sourcing and purchase of saree’s
in Delhi which generated a new trade for our suppliers which they would otherwise not have received.
Please ask a teacher, a student, a parent and a customer what they think about your school
business and how it has made an impact on their lives. Please include their quotes here (please try
to keep them short). (5)
Teacher’s quote: “I am very pleased at the enthusiasm and commitment shown by the pupils, it has
inspired my teaching and made me give them more freedom”. Mrs Jackie Mitchell
Student’s quote: “I used to be so shy and would let others take over but now I feel my ideas and
contribution are valuable and I am more confident” Cody Mowbray
Parent’s quote: “I am so proud of my daughter Eve as chairwoman of this social enterprise challenge.
She has grown more mature and organised, through taking on such responsibilities.” Mrs OBrien
Customer’s quote: “I was really pleased with the fabric and the price, as nothing else similar is
available and it has been admired by all of my friends” Mrs Caroline Weir

Planet: What difference has your business had on the environment? How has your business
improved the environment around you? Please be clear and specific and include one or two pictures
(if you have any). (5)
Our business has had a positive environmental impact as by reusing existing fabric we have minimised
pollution and the deplete of natural resources through the manufacturing process.

-
-
Profit: How did you raise your start-up capital? What approaches did you take to maximize your
profits? What would you do with your profits? (5)
We did not need any immediate start-up capital as we had a donated batch of sarees and some
school resources available to us to get started. Selling our first batch allowed us to raise money to
spend on replenishing our packaging and display materials and on the purchase of our second, larger
batch of sarees and fabric. We constantly used our sales revenue to fund and grow our business.
We kept our costs to the minimum and our packaging simple, using recycled paper and string this
meant our manufacturing costs were very low.
9
Final Report Template 2015
-
-
We had a sound pricing strategy. While we kept our pricing very competitive we feel we did not
undersell. Customers felt they were receiving value for money compared to other similar products.
Demand was high and we feel we capitalized on this. Our markup was around 900% but as our labour
was all done by volunteers we realise that outside of school and in the long term this would not be
sustainable and wages would have to be paid. Our pricing strategy would allow our business still to
be viable as one or two people could be employed and would be able to devote more hours into
manufacture.
We plan to keep some of our profit, reinvesting it into the business to purchase more stock and keep
the operation going.
We plan to distribute some of our profit to our chosen charitable cause, helping education and
enterprise in our partner schools local community.
We also plan to use some of the continuing profits to fund educational activities within our school
Section F: Business Development and Sustainability
TOP TIP!
A sustainable business is one that demonstrates the ability to continue for an indefinite period of time.
 Business Development - What are your future plans for your enterprise? Please provide specific
examples (200 words max). As an example, think about what other products you want to develop,
etc. (5)
 We want to continue selling our crafting fabric packs as these have proved to be very popular and
in great demand. Now that practice and experience has sped up our production we are confident
that this will not be too time consuming for our team.
 As our examples of items that could be crafted with our product proved so popular some of our
team would like to spend time manufacturing these as some customers will admire our fabric
packs but do not feel they have the skill to makes something themselves, instead they would like to
buy the finished item. This would be an area we would like to develop in the future.



Operational Planning - How are you planning to run the business next year? Will new students be
involved in the programme? Please tell us the steps you will take next year to keep your business
running and continue developing it (200 words max). (5)
As our school year does not change over until June 2016 the same students will be involved in this
project until they break for exams in April. The existing students are keen to continue the business
until they leave school.
We plan to use an assembly and posters around the school to recruit a new team to take over the
business in June 2016 as well as information to parents on the benefits of participation. Eventually
we hope to build up a larger number of volunteers than at present, interested not only in being part
of running their own school enterprise but in crafting and sewing as this will help with our
development plan. Students who take up craft related courses in June 2016 will be personally asked
if they would like to be part of the team as items they make would count towards their Higher textiles
award. Our assembly will also promote the positive benefits, skills and academic recognition pupils
can experience through running this business.

How will you use the information from the product profitability to develop your business in the
future? We are confident that even if we had not received a donation of sarees originally our
percentage profitability would be so high as to ensure a good profit.
Additional Comments: If you have any additional comments about your Financial Report please put them in
here:
Our total revenue was not as high as we had predicted but this was due to supply issues which we are
confident will now be resolved. Demand is still strong for our products and we expect it to continue.

5. Feedback (OPTIONAL)
Your feedback is really important, we want to know what you thought about the School Enterprise
Challenge so that we can continue to grow and develop the programme next year.
a. How can we improve the School Enterprise Challenge for you next year? Please provide specific
examples. We found the time frame for the project very rushed as we had our 6 weeks summer
holiday and 2 weeks October break during the time allowed. We would prefer to start the project in
September to finish before Christmas break or alternatively to run the project over a longer period
to allow for loss of time through holidays.
b. What did you most enjoy about being involved in the School Enterprise Challenge? Please provide
specific examples. We enjoyed actually running the business rather than learning about the theory
of business. Taking part and doing something made what we learn in the classroom much more real
and relevant. Organising the event was the most fun as we felt the school could really appreciate
everything we had done and become more involved in our project.
