STUDENTS at Culcheth High School have been praised for their ingenuity and creativity during a full day of baking.

More than 25 students took part in the event at the secondary school, which was aimed at promoting 'linguistic diversity.'

The event ensured that students who took part in the event each represented different countries, including Malta, the Netherlands, and Spain.

At the end of the day, the students' creations were judged by a panel made up of the high school's headteacher, Mr Hunt, and the Progress Leader for Year Eight, Mr Graham.

Culcheth High School used the event as a way to promote the cultural diversity that the school enjoys, and the roaring success of the event highlights how effectively the school has embraced multiculturalism.

The secondary school, on Warrington Road, said: "Every entry was fantastic, which made deciding winners a difficult task for Headteacher, Mr Hunt, and Year 8 Progress Leader, Mr Graham."

Almost 30 students dusted off their aprons and took to the school kitchen in order to whip up a taste sensation ready for the competition.
