  • YES CHEF!

    Published 16/01/20

    Yes Chef! When you’re entering a young chef’s competition held on Burn’s Night and your school is the national memorial to General Gordon (and your sister plays the bagpipes!) it has to be a Scottish-themed menu. Oscar, taking part in the Rotary Young Chef competition practised this morning with Head of Catering Paul Hopkins. He will be serving up a three course menu for two people in two hours of homemade blinis with smoked salmon; a chicken and haggis ballotine with tatties and a whiskey and mustard sauce topped off with a raspberry and crème brulee. Best of luck to him next week as he puts his culinary skills to the test by leading industry professionals at Merton College.

  • Team Talk

    Published 16/12/19

    One term; eight sports and 411 fixtures for our PE Department. But for our First XV Rugby Team, their match in the Sovereign’s Cup against Royal Alexandra and Albert was their last as a team. With a tour of South Africa; win at The Stoop; two of his players turning out for the county and two in squads for their country, coach Chris Davies invited parents, who have supported throughout, to join in a final team talk. Speaking of his squad, Mr Davies commented: “I see these boys as an extended part of my own family. I want them to turn out to be the best versions of themselves and achieve their aspirations.
