Highfields Students Get a Taste of the Culinary World for National Careers Week

As part of National Careers Week, Head Chef James St-Clair and Pastry Chef Bella from Hoar Cross Hall visited Highfields on a bright and sunny Tuesday morning to inspire and engage our Year 9 Food Technology students.

James wowed the class with a showcase of seasonal spring/summer desserts, including a white chocolate and strawberry tart, elegantly finished with a red tuille biscuit. The students had the fantastic opportunity to watch the chefs in action, ask insightful questions, and explore potential apprenticeships within the hospitality industry.

It was a morning full of culinary delights, giving students a first-hand look at the skills, creativity, and career opportunities within professional kitchens. A huge thank you to James and Bella for sharing their expertise and inspiring our young chefs of the future!
