McDougalls Young Baking Team of the Year competition returns for its fifth year with new focus launched for 2019
Premier Foods is bringing back its McDougalls Young Baking Team of the Year competition for the fifth year running, and will focus on how cookery skills can help build children’s overall confidence. Judges returning include – Carol Harwood, representing LACA; Andrew
Green, representing the Craft Guild of Chefs; and Mark Rigby, Executive Chef at Premier Foods. After the recipe competition closes on Friday 17th May, the judges will whittle down the entries and invite five shortlisted teams to the live final at LACA – The Main Event on Thursday 11th July 2019. Schools looking to bake their way to the top spot should recruit a team
of up to three enthusiastic 7-11 year olds and register online now. The winning team will take home the jackpot of £1,000 worth of equipment for their school kitchen, whilst each of the four runners up will win £250 worth of equipment. The competition theme will continue to focus on local produce, encouraging schools to source ingredients within a 30 mile radius of their school for their McDougalls recipes – helping children learn more about where their food comes from. Nic Hastie, School Chef at St Martin and St Mary’s C of E Primary
School, 2018 winner, comments: “Since winning the competition it has given both myself and the children a real confidence boost. It has really taught the children that if you work hard you can achieve your goals. When I look back to the beginning of the process, when we first started practicing for the competition and how they have come out of their shell since taking part and winning, it is incredible. The £1,000 prize money which we received as a result of our victory has been used to set up a weekly after school cookery club, it has paid for chef coats for the children and the equipment we need in order to make it a success. We launched this just after the October half term, opening it up to years three to six and we’ve already had over 40 sign ups. We’re really hoping it will encourage the children to start baking more at home too with their families.”
Schools up for the baking challenge can register their interest at
www.premierfoodservice.co.uk and will receive a McDougalls toolkit within seven days which will include product samples, an application form and recipe inspiration. Teams will be asked to create either a sweet or savoury recipe, which includes one local ingredient and one McDougalls Flour Based Mix for submission.

St John's is Surrey's “Number One” school
Good Shepherd Trust said: "The journey Mr Richards and his team have taken St John's on is truly inspirational. Educational excellence and holistic Church school education go hand in hand and we are very proud of all its children and staff for their continued hard work." The school has recently introduced a new
St John's C of E Primary School in Dorking is now the number one school in Surrey for progress in all three subjects. Rated as inadequate by Ofsted in 2013 the school, an academy in the Good Shepherd Trust, has been on a transformational journey. Head teacher Mark Richards said: "I am
exceptionally proud of the children's achievements which is testament to the hard work and tenacity of our incredible teachers and support staff. The whole team's determination for ensuring all children succeed regardless of their circumstances or history makes St John's an inspiring place to be. With the right provision surrounding each child, the sky is their limit and our staff are proving this can be true." Tony Billings, Chief Executive Officer of The
'Harmony' curriculum, inspired by HRH Prince of Wales' book and in partnership with Ashley Primary School, Walton On Thames. The new curriculum puts the school's farm at the centre of their learning and allows the children to see how everything in their world is connected and develop an understanding of their responsibly in being tomorrow's leaders. With just over half of the school classified as
disadvantaged and one third with Special Educational Needs, the school have many different approaches to cater for the needs of each child, allowing all children to shine. The school constantly strives to create the best
possible learning opportunities for the children. Thanks to funding from several charities, the school has recently installed an 'Immersive Technology' room to really bring learning to life. The room gives children the opportunity to feel, smell and see thousands of interactive scenes, transporting them to places like volcanos, rainforests and even the great fire of London.

www.education-today.co.uk January 2019 In November of last year, the school launched
its radio station named after their curriculum - Harmony Live. This new station hooks onto the children's topic of learning including their recent local history week where they interviewed past kings and queens of our country. St John's is being called upon by other Surrey
schools to inspire good practice and so everyone can learn from their successes. Since September 2018, key members of staff from St John's have supported Green Oak Primary School in Godalming resulting in a formal partnership as a 'sister school'. This arrangement will allow expertise in both schools to benefit from increased capacity and shared resources.
