Environmentally-friendly entrepreneurs have opened up their own outside café at Baylis Court School in Slough.
The official opening of the Young Green Entrepreneurs Café was yesterday.
Pupils from the Gloucester Avenue school took part in a project with Groundwork Thames Valley and the DHL UK Foundation.
The aim of the project was to support young people aged 14-18 in developing a new locally grown food product and outdoor café for the whole school community to enjoy.
In March, five teams of pupils pitched for £10,000 in a Dragon's Den-style event.
The money was awarded to the winning team - Coolies - for their strawberry-themed café design, in which they plan to sell homemade fruit smoothies.
Kate Daunton, from Baylis Court, said; "This has been a wonderful opportunity for our girls to experience work at a professional level."
