THERE is nothing better than pulling on crisp new clothes - especially when you have designed them for yourself.
Pupils at Ivy Bank Business College, Blackburn, will enjoy such a privilege in the new term. Better still, the new uniforms could make them money.
In a pioneering new enterprise, every pupil at the Byron Street college has a share in the new business.
Pupils have helped design the uniform from scratch and helped put them into manufacture.
It is one of the ways that the college, one of the first nationwide to be given specialist status, takes learning beyond the classroom while the pupils are still sat at their desks.
Head teacher Stephen Ball admits it is the biggest money making school project to date and one of the groundbreaking project which has helped put the college on the map.
