Our Year 10 Hospitality and Catering students have completed a half term of highly skilled dessert practicals, finishing with a Christmas themed treat.
They made rough puff pastry trees, creating the pastry entirely from scratch. The smell was delicious and we hope they made it home to share with students` families! Since they turned out so well, we also hope students will be encouraged to make them again for friends and family over the festive period.
We had another fun packed and very creative Christmas Cake Club this year.
Year 7 and 8 students worked after school over three weeks to prepare, marzipan, ice and decorate their cakes which were cooked for three hours in the catering ovens in the GCSE Food Room.
A huge thanks to Mrs Kerr and Mrs Cook, who volunteered to stay late helping the students each week. It was lovely to see students participate and feel that they were contributing to their family’s Christmas celebration.
I am really proud of them for their team work, great effort and excellent tidying up skills!

Five of our Year 9 young leaders assisted at a S.A.S.P. run primary school boccia tournament today. Boccia is a Paralympic sport similar to bowls.
Feedback from the staff in charge included:
“Your leaders were superstars! There was a huge range of different SEND pupils there today, each with their own differing needs and agendas.
“Your pupils were cool and calm and ran the games brilliantly. Please tell them another huge thank you from us.”
We are seeking a receptionist and attendance administrator to join our friendly team. Receptionist candidates will ideally have experience of working in public facing roles. Admin candidates should have experience of working with school attendance figures.
