We were fortunate to have been invited to attend and participate in a Business and Enterprise Workshop and Seminar at Kings’ School in Winchester on 3rd July 2008 and witness the official opening of the Kings’ School Tower Arts Centre by Norman Richardson, Vice President and General Manager of HP Imaging and Printing Group UK&I and attended by other senior executives of Hewlett-Packard.

As part of Kings’ School’s remit as a Business and Enterprise hub school for Hampshire, Winchester Council have allowed the Tower Arts Centre to be used to support the school activities. The Centre comprises a reception area, auditorium, art and print rooms and is now home to the Kings’ School EduPrint Centre, having previously been located in a cupboard. Hewlett-Packard and EduPrint contributed six networked workstations.

Approximately twenty schools attended the 2008 Business and Enterprise Seminar and Workshop held in the school’s new Tower Arts facility with the main topic being how to integrate enterprise into the school curriculum.

Kings’ School have instilled a vibrant business and enterprise culture with 180 pupils of all ages engaged in running their own businesses. Visitors cannot help but be impressed by the work of Assistant Head Master, Gywnfor Evans and Business and Enterprise Coordinator D Stuart Johnson and their enthusiastic team.

Fit for Kings' - Case study of our flagship Enterprise Centre
in dvd format was first shown at this event to twenty schools.

Impact Publications is a business formed by confident pupils of amazing talent and potential. Elizabeth McLean - MD, Natalie Thorn - Sales Director, Rachel Jones – Marketing Director and Cameron Fisher – Operations Manager. They would sit comfortably in ‘Junior Apprentice’ and would present Alan Sugar with his toughest challenge yet as they all show outstanding potential.

This team has taken commissions from the Mayor of Winchester to produce a Catalogue of Artworks connected with Winchester, banners covering the passion and posters in support of Wessex Heart Foundation and the Alan Ball Golf Event. Word of mouth has attracted further business and together with their contribution supporting feeder schools, teaching younger children how to use the EduPrint software, these fourteen year olds have very bright futures.

Among the other enterprising businesses on show, a team had signed up the pupils that have produced original artwork for their GCSE courses and offer limited editions produced on their EduPrint wide format printer.

Some of the core businesses have been operating for longer periods. The operators of the clothing business inherited a loss making entity and have successfully turned the business into profit. These pupils now have the opportunity to interview and select the prospective new owners from those who have submitted applications to inherit the business.

It was a great pleasure to see the thriving environment and meet the confident teams of young business people.  

"EduPrint is at the heart of enterprise throughout the school and EduPrint is the glue that holds it together." - D Stuart Johnson

What are other EduPrint Centres saying about Eduprint?

“Firstly I must say that everyone who has experienced our EduPrint results are astounded by the high quality and versatility of the product. We have been putting our EduPrint centre to full use, by not only producing high quality images for the school, we have also been selling montages to the pupils and their families. In addition to this, we produce large internal and external banners for the neighbouring Leisure Centre. ” ~ Phil Robinson, The Dukeriess College, Newark, Nottinghamshire.

“Although quite new EduPrint users, we have found the quality output to be a fantastic way of highlighting key events - in particular recently we have sent very large montages back to our Primary Schools showing their students working on ICT and science projects with us.” ~ Marcus Priestley, Thomas Bennett Community College, Crawley, West Sussex
