The students worked hard to create the entire spread themselves, making fresh brioche buns which they turned into sandwiches, homemade scones, homemade jam, oat biscuits and delicious cupcakes, complete with their own buttercream. Once everything was baked, prepared and beautifully presented, the students welcomed their guests and took on the role of hosts for the afternoon. It was lovely to see the students so proud to share what they had created and to welcome their families and teachers into the Food Room. The afternoon was a wonderful celebration of their hard work, practical skills and growing confidence - and, of course, there were plenty of delicious treats to enjoy! A huge well done to everyone involved in making the afternoon such a success! ![](/images/news/2026/cakeshot02.jpg) [ Year 9 Northern Reach workplace encounter](/news/2026-07-14-year-9-northern-reach-workplace-encounter) [Residential event at Cambridge University ](/news/2026-09-28-residential-event-at-cambridge-university) ![Â鶹ÊÓƵ](https://files.schudio.com/blackpoolaspireacademy/images/logo/Award_logos2.jpg) **Â鶹ÊÓƵ** Blackpool Old Road Blackpool Lancashire FY3 7LS Tel: 01253 353155 Email: - [CEOP](https://www.ceop.police.uk/safety-centre/) - [ePlatform Library](https://blackpoolaspireacademy.eplatform.co/) - [Evolve](https://evolve.edufocus.co.uk/evco10/evchome_public.asp?domain=fyldecoastacademytrust) - [Privacy Statement](/files/files/privacy-policy.pdf) - [Raise My Concern](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSekNkSicBdiUClrE3qB71MX3EkBZMotT5dpIivYmO03_lXZdw/viewform?usp=sf_link) - [SENDgateway](http://www.sendgateway.org.uk/) - [SISRA Analytics](https://www.sisraanalytics.co.uk/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2f) ### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/blackpoolaspire) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClg0mDn9889ACxNeBdCkm-w) ### Newsletter ### Translation © Copyright 2014–2026 Â鶹ÊÓƵ School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](/img/logo/dark.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
