Students First: Raising Standards and Transforming Lives
Today the Y10 Hospitality and Catering students were given a great opportunity thanks to #HeroesFish and #DFDS who supplied us with mussels free of charge🙏

These were turned into Thai style mussels in class🥘

Most students had not tried them before, but looked to enjoy having a go at cooking them😋

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 👏🏼

Below is a great video outlining "Sharenting" 📲

Lots of warnings around this currently, so this is a great reminder of being safe online❗

This summer, students across the #OutwoodFamily delivered almost 100 community projects across their local areas through the #OutThere programme! 💜

They told us they wanted to contribute to communities and change misconceptions about young people - and that's what they did! 🤩

Last week we had West Yorks Fire & Rescue in school to deliver an exciting yet informative demonstration! 🚒

They showed students how teams responded to an RTC with casualties and used real life dummies (our staff) as they cut out and rescued them! 👏🏼

A great part of our #PersonalDevelopment offer!

We've got some interesting visitors this week! 🗣️

West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue are launching their road safety campaign here tomorrow with a live demonstration, and today students met Jess who is only 1 of 17 search and rescue dogs in the UK, and is based here in Normanton! 🚗🐕
