Bake-off is back with Gail!🧁
Look at what the teams got up to the last 2 weeks!

Every Friday we'll see two senior teams go up against the clock to deliver the best baking.

As the country mourns the loss of the Queen, it's important to acknowledge that this news will affect us all differently, and this time might also bring up feelings of personal grief.💭
Everyone grieves differently, there is no right or wrong way to grieve.💜

At WYZ, there are countless opportunities for young people to try something new or develop in something they already love!
