Whalley Range High School is one of eight institutions in the North West participating in The Enterprise Project, a Manchester Metropolitan University scheme funded by the North West Development Agency.

The project aims to develop "entrepreneurial learning" - helping teachers introduce pupils to the specific skills of the market awareness, financial planning and risk-taking associated with starting a small business.

The students will be responsible for conducting market research, creating a business plan and securing funding in addition to the process of writing, designing, producing and distributing the paper.

Edge Hill's Department of Media and Communication has links with the Enterprise Project through Tony Turjansky, the programme leader for journalism at Edge Hill. He is also seconded part-time to Manchester Metropolitan University's Institute of Education as Enterprise Advisor to the partner schools.
