BUDDING entrepreneurs from a small primary school fighting for its survival have earned national acclaim.
Ysgol Llannefydd, near Denbigh, has launched a campaign to attract new pupils from nearby communities to safeguard the Welsh-medium school’s future.
Now six enterprising students have launched a successful business venture called Blas y Llan (Taste of the Village) selling jars of jam and syrup using rhubarb they grew themselves.
The youngsters competed against primary schools from across Wales in this year’s Enterprise Troopers competition and finished runners-up.
Almost 100 jars were sold with the venture proving so successful that a profit of £160 was returned. Funds raised are set to go back into the business, as the school looks to enjoy further success in the competition next year.
