We were lucky enough to be one of only 200 schools to recieve a delivery of rope grown Mussels from @offshoreshellfish. Thank you so much, the students had mostly never tried Mussels before and thought they were delicious. @foodteachers @fishmongerscompany #fishheroes

At GAA we are big believers that everyone should be able to cook healthy nutritious meals, and that there shouldn't be anything that stands in the way of that learning. Thanks to @jamiesministryoffood we have created some fabulous food so far this year @jamieoliver @GAAshton_news

Year eights today 'wrap it up' with chicken fajita wraps. Students loved the cook, using their knife skills and their first cook with meat. All enjoyed them at either break or lunch @jamieoliver @jamiesministryoffood #jamiesministryoffood #ministryoffoodschools #foodEDtoday

Y9's really worked on their knife skills today making samosas. Students baked theirs in the oven, whilst we deep fried a few so they could compare them #jamiesministryoffood #ministryoffoodschools #keepcookingskillsalive #foodeducation

Mrs P has been brushing up her skills this weekend ready for y11 to break down and debone a chicken after their first coursework... The stock is now on, and using the Y9 recipe it's Mushroom Risotto for tea 😁#foodteacher #foodskills #apologiestovegetarians
