Project Crunch
In this programme from Teachers TV, students at Thomas Alleyne's High School are set an enterprise project to launch a healthier brand of crisps, with the help of local manufacturer Glennans.
Glennans approached the school with an idea for a joint project to celebrate the company's 21st anniversary. Over six months, students at the school had the chance to create a new brand of crisp - Sunday Munch. Under the guidance of Dawn Shirley, enterprise co-ordinator, and an executive board of sixth formers, teams of mixed abilities and ages contributed to all aspects of the product development and launch. From food technology students testing healthier methods of production to PE students providing exercise information on packaging, the project spanned the curriculum.
But the launch was seen as only the beginning. As well as plans to supply local outlets, there are hopes to extend the range of flavours and approach national supermarket chains to bring Sunday Munch to the masses.
