The Winston Book Fair

The Book Fair is in full swing and the students have been loving browsing the books and deciding which ones will be their next read!

There is a huge variety of books on offer - some as cheap as £2.99 - and students are able to place an order with Miss Dodds if they would rather pay via Scopay.

We have already made around £600 in sales in just a few days. Our aim is to make over £1500 as that is what we made in sales last year and this also means we get 60% of this to spend on books for our school!! We still have a week to go and a reminder that students will be visiting either in one of their English lessons or during form time.

Tasting Test

All of our Year 11 GCSE students took part in a focus group during their Business Studies lessons where they tasted three different varieties of Jaffa Cakes and answered questions on each one based on five categories. The average scores showed that the original orange flavour was still the favourite amongst those who took part with a score of 3.42. This was reflected in the final vote where half of the 109 students voted the original as their favourite of the three flavours sampled.
