🍳 Year 10 Food Technology – The Science of Eggs!

Our Year 10 students have been exploring the incredible properties of eggs. They’ve learnt about their nutritional content, the role of individual components, and processes like coagulation, denaturation and foam formation.

To put theory into practice, students have been making fried and boiled eggs, Swiss Rolls and Meringues. They created Swiss Rolls – and they looked amazing!

🎱 Celebrating Ashton’s Outstanding Success in Pool! 🎱

We are incredibly proud of Ashton, a talented Year 11 student who is making waves in the world of competitive pool!

Ashton currently plays for the county under-23s team and recently achieved a major milestone by winning the Under-23 County Championship. Not stopping there, he went on to claim the title of Division 2/3 Champion this past weekend, a remarkable accomplishment for someone his age.

With one more county match to go this weekend, Ashton needs just two wins out of four games to finish top of the region. Whatever the outcome, he has already secured a place in the English trials, a testament to his skill, dedication, and composure under pressure.

At Shrewsbury Academy, we take great pride in our students who pursue excellence beyond the classroom. Ashton’s achievements are a shining example of the talent and determination we see in our student community every day.

πŸ‘ Let’s all wish Ashton the very best in his upcoming match - we’re rooting for you!

πŸ₯š Exploring eggs in style!

We’ve made some amazing homemade scotch eggs and chicken nuggets - they looked like they came straight from a deli!

Students learned all about coagulation and coating, discovering the properties of eggs and different cooking methods: frying, boiling and baking. We even made our own breadcrumbs using a food processor and set up an assembly line of egg, flour and breadcrumbs for perfect coating.

They went down a treat with both students and staff!
