Easter Bake-off

Mary Berry, eat your heart out! Staff are doing their bit for the fundraising effort for Gambia by... eating cake!

It's a hard life, but on Thursday 10 April, staff are going to be sampling some Easter delights. Staff are being invited to don their aprons to bake for a fundraising Easter Bake-off & Raffle, all in aid of a school in The Gambia. Staff will be in competition to bake the best and most creative cakes with an Easter theme that they can.

We are hoping that some of the students going on this trip to The Gambia will take on the roles of Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood to judge which bake is best and all the cakes will be sold off to staff to raise money for the Jemus Jungkung Jammeh Memorial Nursery School in Abuko. Remember, we are raising money to buy resources for this very impoverished school, to build an additional two classrooms and to help pay the wages of the teachers.

This Easter Bake-off and Raffle will take place on 10 April, which is a staff development day (so no lessons). We'll let you know how this event goes and post some photos of yummy cakes on here too. Hopefully it will raise lots of money to get our fundraising effort off to a great start.

Staff are also organising a Quiz Night in June and students have lots of exciting ideas for fundraising over the coming months too. We'll keep you updated with that news over the coming weeks and months.
