Maths and a balanced diet With an increased focus on problem solving in the new GCSE (2017), our aim is to make sure students can see how mathematics can be applied to real life situations. This makes maths more tangible for students and provides opportunities for fun for students (and staff!). Miss Jones has been investigating the amounts of sugar in a variety of drinks and foods.

ICT and Technology Catering

On 2nd February Year 10 catering students spent the day at the Grand Harbour Hotel in Southampton. The students met the General Events Manager and had a tour of the hotel, followed by a question and answer session with the hotel’s Executive Chef Alex. He was kind enough to offer free cookies and pastries as the students toured the kitchen area and met his staff. After the tour the students then experienced their own afternoon tea. With endless cakes, scones and sandwiches, the students were

impressed and very full! The students were perfectly behaved and their table etiquette was impressive. The day was a total success with students benefitting from the primary research experience for their Unit 1 examination.
