Amazing work from Y10 Hospitality & Catering students this week 👏
They used one of the breasts they had taken off a whole chicken and turned it into a ballotine. As if that wasn’t hard enough, they served it with julienne vegetables 🍗

Christmas has arrived in the foodroom......and the smell is divine 🍪
This morning Y11 students have been busy plaiting Danish Christmas heart biscuits. The general consensus was that the paper ones were easier to make than the biscuit ones 👏🏼
