Invest in Shropshire, a partnership of local authorities set up to showcase the best of what the county has to offer to business, will visit The Priory School - Business and Enterprise College, Shrewsbury this week (Thursday 20 November) to unleash young people's enterprising ideas.

The visit has been organised as part of this year's Enterprise Week (17 - 23 November), a national celebration of enterprise encouraging people to have ideas and make them happen.

Pupils will be invited to play an orange business game called Enterprise Effusion and advice will be offered to hopefully generate some creative business ideas.

As part of this, Marches Energy Agency will work with the school as they investigate the school's energy efficiency and carbon footprint. They are also helping with a competition for year 9, 10 and 11 pupils to design an eco-community.

Claire Cox, Shropshire County Council's Invest in Shropshire Officer, said: "It's great to be involved with The Priory School during Enterprise Week, I'm really looking forward to hearing some of the interesting, enterprising ideas their pupils have."

John Hurst-Knight, Shropshire County Council's Cabinet member for economy, added: "This is a great opportunity to learn from each other. It will also hopefully go some way to help foster an enterprise culture within the county."
