Miss Rees, Head of English, engaged Year 8 students’ cross curricular skills involving Using ICT, English, Art and Home Economics. Miss Rees encouraged the students to design and produce posters advertising a ‘Bake-Off Competition’. Following these winning poster entries by James and Oisin, the Year 8s proceeded with the ‘Bake-Off Competition’. Entries were of a very high standard and judged by Mrs Sleeth, Head of Home Economics. All students across the college benefited from the resulting entries when they were given the opportunity to purchase the buns and cakes. Proceeds went to the English Department.
