Christmas Bake Off

Principal Miss Wicks invited students and staff to take part in our Christmas bake off this week!

To enter the competition, Miss Wicks asked for handmade, festive-themed cakes or biscuits to be judged on Monday 17th December and the prize was 200 house points for the winner, with 100 house points for the runners up.  

Entries included Christmas tree lollipop cakes, chocolate yule logs, stollen and Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer ginger biscuits!

The panel of judges included Miss Wicks and, with their professional expertise, the canteen staff, Duncan and Janet.  The cakes were scored for appearance and flavour with a possible 15 points in each section up for grabs.

Student runners up: Cody, Year 7 (Pankhurst), for exceptional presentation and Liam, Year 9 (Turing), for exceptional flavour.

The overall student winner is Jamie Year 9 (Pankhurst)

Staff runners up: Mrs Hill (Lowry) for exceptional presentation and to Mrs Lindsay (Pankhurst) for exceptional flavour.

The overall staff winner is Mrs Bailey ( Pankhurst)

Miss Wicks said:

“We tasted over 20 cakes, they were all wonderful and it was hard to choose the winners!   Thank you to all the staff and students who took part to earn points for their House. They all looked and tasted amazing.”

Thanks to Mrs Haymes and Mrs Rothwell who held a cake sake with all the Christmas Bake off competition cakes so that everyone could have the chance to see, buy and taste the wonderful festive masterpieces.
