Classics Bake Off

Inspired by the popular TV Show, Mrs Richardson and her Form 6 Classics class organised their own pre-Christmas Bake-Off with a very unique twist: A Classics Cake-Off! Not only did the pupils devise the format of the competition, they designed posters and chose a charity to whom the proceeds would go.  On the last Tuesday of term, the freshly baked and magnificently decorated cake creations were assembled ready for judging by Mrs Kirby (as Head and Baker Extraordinaire) and Miss Stroud (as a Form 6 tutor). With two key criteria – taste and design – the overall winner was Henry Calvert with Medusa themed chocolate cake. His prize was a WHSmith voucher. Later in the day the pupils cut up the cakes and sold them off in the carpark outside Upper School and also at the school disco. Not only was the event highly enjoyable, it raised a superb £74.42 for Shelter. Well done and thank you to everyone who supported the event.
