OK, you're right, posting this at lunchtime is not kind. But, in our defence, this food was too good not to share.

Our Year 9 Food & Technology students last week competed in the first MASTERTEF/Pressure Cook Challenges for the semester.

The boys were split into Red and Blue teams, which each cooking 30 portions of a sweet and/or savoury dish, including a dietary requirement.

Staff members then visited Food Tech at lunchtime for a feast - and to vote for the winning teams. An amazing display of our boys' growing skills in the kitchen.
