Congratulations to our three teams that made it through to the next round of The Reg Johnson Young Chef competition which is to be held at Blackburn College on the 1st April.  Earlier this year they designed their menus which had to include duck, be a healthy meal and have at least two vegetables included.  The students have been practising their designed dishes this week, and were really happy with the results.

We are very proud of the students’ achievement in getting through to the next round!

Here they are hard at work on their making Hovercrafts whilst exploring the theme of ‘Journeys’.Some of our local primary school students were in school on Monday and Tuesday taking part in workshops as part of Science Week.  Here they are hard at work on their making Hovercrafts whilst exploring the theme of ‘Journeys’.
