SUMMER ART EXHIBITION 2007
On Tuesday 12th June the pupils of John Ferneley High School gave their parents an evening to remember.
They put on a display of art work that Ofsted agreed had examples of work that were of GCSE standard. All age groups and ability groups were represented. There were painting and ceramics in the style of Islamic, European and African arts. Examples of the range of subjects that pupils explore through any media including drawing and some sketchbooks. A truly outstanding exhibition. Well done to all the artists who took part.
On the same evening we hosted the grand final of our ‘Master Chef’ competition. This has been hotly contested over the last two months, with several rounds, to get us down to the 8 talented finalists.
You could have cut the atmosphere in the kitchen with a knife as the event got underway. Original recipes, fresh ingredients and a very high standard of cooking and presentation were the order of the day.
Once the dishes were presented, the Judges took a while to decide the winner due to the high standards. Conroy Godber, the Chair of Governors, was heard to comment that it was as good as the food on the QEII (he has just returned from his holidays).
The eventual winner was Samantha Crichton, winning £50 worth of vouchers. Jenny Davies was runner-up, winning £20 worth of vouchers.
All the competitors did a magnificent job though, and a big thank you goes to Darren Tinkler, our Chef, and also Tylers of Loughborough (www.tylersfurnishing.com) who donated the prizes. Thanks also to parents for supporting us, we hope to repeat these events next year.

PUTTING FUN BACK INTO FOOD - February 2007
Pupils at John Ferneley High School have been putting the fun back into food. An exciting “live” cookery show was staged for an audience of year 7 & 8 pupils to demonstrate the benefits of healthy eating. In the style of “Ready Steady Cook”, two teams were challenged to produce a balanced healthy meal in 15 minutes.
The event was ‘hosted’ by Darren Tinkler an ex pupil of John Ferneley and a qualified chef. The Red Team consisted of Mr Maggs, Melina Moore and Jacob Meade and the Green Team was Mrs Matare, Amy Rogers and Graham Rose. Pupils then voted, after a tasting session, on their favourite dish.
Follow up sessions are planned with Darren in the classroom for pupils who have a keen interest in food technology. The school are also hoping to offer some families an opportunity to work with Darren on producing healthy food options for those who are keen to live a more healthy lifestyle.
