Vegetables at school

Pupils in Home Economics have been using our school-grown vegetables in classes since we've come back to school after the summer - courgette fritters, beetroot salad and even beetroot in chocolate cake!

We're hoping to have these beautiful panels up displayed in the LRC very soon.
