Presdales Afternoon Tea

The week beginning 29th April parents, friends and staff were delighted to attend one of our enjoyable Afternoon Teas prepared and hosted by our Year 10 GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition students. It was lovely to be able to welcome visitors into school. Working under strict exam conditions the students baked all morning producing delicious breads, cakes and scones. We are delighted to report that our students coped really well working under the intense ‘Bake Off’ pressure. Their freshly baked products were finished and presented to a professional standard along with homemade preserves. The whole group were justly proud of their fantastic results and received extremely positive feedback from our guests on the day for their fabulous food.

Once again a special thank you goes to the Art Department for the loan of the student artwork and to Ms P. Scoulding and Mrs A. Wall for setting the lovely scene in our Afternoon Tea room.

HOUSE : Pancake Competition

February 16, 2024/in Design & Technology, House /by Presdales School

On Shrove Tuesday, Design & Technology – Food hosted the House Pancake competition. Teams of Year 8 students, representing each of the Houses, produced pancakes which were judged by a panel based on presentation, flavour and texture. Students from each form were excited to be representing their houses. The judges were really impressed by the quality of the pancakes and the creativity of the entrees, who worked well together to present their pancakes within the time limit.

Thank you to all the Year 8 students who took part, as well as to our judges Mrs Dray, Mrs Garcia and Mrs Schillaci-Rowland, who also helped to run the competition on the day.

Tunnock’s Teacake Challenge

Our Year 10 GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition students took part in the Tunnock’s Teacake Challenge during their practical lessons this half term. The food styling challenge was to produce a plate with a focus on the presentation of a Tunnock’s Teacake to the theme of “Patterns and Shapes”. The students were encouraged to create a piece of culinary art using their artistic creativity and food preparation skills.

We were looking for the most stunning plate created. Marks were awarded for creativity, presentation and using a variety of technical skills. Our students demonstrated various high level skills including making their own honeycomb, fruit coulis and piping.

Due to the strength of the entrees it was difficult for our guest judges, Food & Textiles teachers Mrs Dray and Mrs Finch, to pick the winners. Our top four students were 1st place Darcey Cumberland, 2nd place Immie Baldwin and joint 3rd place Annabella Johnson and Alice Lynn. Darcey will be entered into the national competition to represent Presdales and we wish her all the best.

Year 12 Lamp Project

It is that time of the year when the nights seem to be drawing in, but as has become traditional in Product Design in November, we find it to be illuminating and colourful. Year 12 students have once again produced some fantastic lamps as part of their initial mini-project. As well as the lamps students have produced design sheets to support their research, design thinking and development. Many of the lamps were on display at the Sixth Form Open Evening on Thursday 10th November. Please see the photos of a few of the different lamps.
