House Bake Off Challenge – Delicious Creations
4th March 2024
We are so excited for the return of the Great WGHS Bake Off 2024!
Our esteemed Bake Off judges were overwhelmed on Monday 4th March as they entered the judging room and saw the vast number of entries and the delicious aromas that emanated from our student’s baking creations. All students who entered the competition received a House point for participation.
This week they were judging our Signature Bakes round: our Key Stage 2 students were prompted to bake biscuits and cookies. Judged by the Director of the Junior Section Mr Rowley, Ms Donau-Green, Mrs Phillips, and Mrs Critch. Key Stage 3/4 were tasked with baking buns, muffins and traybakes; judged by Mr Webster, Mrs Manson, and Mr Tribe and our Heads of Houses.
