Wow! This was a fantastic baking experience. The School C ouncil made delicious biscuits and ginger cookies with Daniele from Le Creuset. Members from our Rights Respecting Sports Ambassadors and our Pupil Chaplains also joined us in this fun activity.
We hope that you will come to our Christmas stall at the Christmas fair on Friday 2nd December where we will be selling the cookies as well as our lovely Christmas stockings.
We are very grateful to Daniele and Diana from Le Crueset for giving us this superb opportunity.
