London, Saturday 9 November 2013
Mrs Baker presented to a sixth form conference at Kings College London in her capacity as AQA's Chief Examiner for GCE Food Technology. She spoke about the many career opportunities which stem from this subject and gave examples of student success stories from Dane Court. Many teachers at the conference said they had been inspired by what Mrs Baker had said and by her enthusiasm for the subject. The conference was organised by the British Nutrition Foundation in conjunction with the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board. The whole day event included presentations by a range of speakers from the nutrition foundation and food industry, including themes such as 'Tackling climate change through livestock'; 'UK food consumption and production – a marketing perspective'; 'Ensuring food traceability and quality in the twenty first century'; 'New food product development – concept to launch' and 'Nutrition update – Snacking and Hydration'.

Dane Court staged a non uniform day, the money raised being donated to the Children in Need charity. The 'onesie' proved to be the outfit of choice with many impressive variations on display.

Dinner ladies Norma, Karen, Jenny, Carol , Karen, Kerry, Sue and Margaret laid on a special menu for lunch and dressed in a wide variety of outfits to mark the occasion. The menu included Pudsey hot dogs and pizza, traditional fish and chips followed by apple and 'blue beary' sponge and Pudsey biscuits.

Many thanks to all who paid £1 for the privilege of taking part in the non uniform day to help raise much needed funds for Children in Need. The event has raised in excess of £1100 so far, congratulations to you all.
