Outstanding Food Production
CLASS 9C1 ( Mrs Vadi's class) were given the challenge to
prepare a starter and dessert.
Members of the staff were invited to be judges. Their task was to
judge a dish on its appearance and overall taste.
Kaia C, Holly K, Lucy M won dessert section for appearance of their Vegan Chocolate Brownie served with a black cherry sauce. Lyndon K, Cameron F and Shafiq H produced a Chocolate fondant that was described as 'professional tasting'.
Francis Parker prepared and cooked the winning
tasting savoury dish when he prepared a Chorizo Paella. Caitlin F,
Ellen H and Mia C were awarded the best presented dish when they prepared a
mini burger with freshly baked potato wedges.
All the dishes were of a high standard. Students showed practical,
organisational and team skills.
Inter-form
Students in Year 7 were competing in a competition between tutor groups on Monday of this week. It was impressive to see so many students taking part. The final results for all of the inter-form competitions will be announced at the Celebration Assembly in July. Well done to everyone involved.
Assembly this Week
Assemblies this week have been taken by Mr French and the theme of challenge and resilience. Mr French talked about the importance of developing emotional intelligence to help us all to manage how we feel but more importantly to understand how others may be feeling.
Parents Evening
As part of our agenda to listen to and provide a better experience for our parents changes were made to the arrangements for Parents' Evening last Thursday. From the survey results and talking to parents, Mr French then made the following adjustments:
Tables were spread out into the Churchill Suite, as well as the hall, offering a more comfortable environment. Some staff were grouped together in their subject team, rather than relying on an alphabetical arrangement. Tea, coffee and water was also available. On the board was a plan of the seating arrangement to help parents find the location of the teachers they wished to see.
Parents were asked at the end if this was an improvement on their previous experience. The outcome is in the image below.
