Congratulations also go to Rachael Sherwin, Charlotte Hughes, Harriet Smith, Sophie Atkin, Riyah Collins and Kate Dye and Amber Rose-Dewey for their success.
Cordelia Powell was awarded the ‘Best Student’ award for her achievements in both the practical and theory exams, together with an excellent commitment to the course throughout.
Students work over 4 terms to complete the course, cooking a wide range of dishes. They also learn a variety of culinary skills.
The pupils also complete a basic hygiene certificate and both qualifications provide opportunities for careers, gap year employment and the pleasure of cooking for friends and family.
