The ceremony was organised by Go For it! Enterprising Norwich, a city council programme that supports enterprising activity in schools.
Why? Teenagers from the Woodside Centre set up a pizza company, and sold handmade goods at a Christmas fair, while students at Clare School created a Romeo and Juliet book, organised drama productions and prepared staff lunches. Sewell Park pupils have been growing and selling fruit and vegetables from the school allotment and running a stationery business called Doodles.
What do the professionals think? Tim Bacon, development manager at Go For It! Enterprising Norwich, says: "All the schools have shown a clear vision of what enterprise education means for young people and a commitment to enterprise for the future."
Emma Van Deventner, director of enterprise in the community at Sewell Park, says: "From decision-making to teamwork, problem solving, communication and even taking risks, these skills will be so important for their futures."
