Christmas has arrived in the foodroom......and the smell is divine 🍪
This morning Y11 students have been busy plaiting Danish Christmas heart biscuits. The general consensus was that the paper ones were easier to make than the biscuit ones 👏🏼

This summer, students across the #OutwoodFamily delivered almost 100 community projects across their local areas through the #OutThere programme! 💜
They told us they wanted to contribute to communities and change misconceptions about young people - and that's what they did! 🤩

Last week we had West Yorks Fire & Rescue in school to deliver an exciting yet informative demonstration! 🚒
They showed students how teams responded to an RTC with casualties and used real life dummies (our staff) as they cut out and rescued them! 👏🏼
A great part of our #PersonalDevelopment offer!
