'The Great Shepherd Bake Off!'

On Monday 20th October 2025, the PTA organised 'The Great Shepherd Bake Off!'.

Children were invited to bake and decorate individual cupcakes, muffins and brownies and bring them to school to be judged by the Bake Off Judges, Mrs Foad and Mrs Freuchen! 

Mrs Foad and Mrs Freuchen had a wonderful time judging the entries, and they were amazed by how creative the children had been with their decorations. Once the judging had finished, the 'Cake Sale' began, and all the children and staff thoroughly enjoyed buying and eating all the cakes!  

In Celebration Assembly, Mrs Foad presented certificates to every child who had entered the competition, and a certificate and trophy to the winner from each class. Congratulations to 'The Great Shepherd Bake Off' winners!
