Enterprise for primary learners

Enterprise activities develop the skills and mindset needed to make the most of opportunities.

We have ideas, tools and resources to support enterprise activities in primary settings.

Enterprising Ideas Bank

The Enterprising Ideas Bank is available to download from the resource repository on Hwb.

This resource was developed with entrepreneurial role models from the Big Ideas Wales network. It contains ideas to
inspire, support and encourage entrepreneurship education with younger learners.

The ideas and content are designed to provide a starting point to inspire teachers.
