Some of what schools do as they educate chiildren can be very earnest. For example, some people might view maths or science as unexciting (though pretty much anything, taught well, can be fun). However, some things are very interesting to children and as any parent knows, food - and cookery lessons - are popular.
We are, then, pleased to be able to share a recipe for cheese biscuits, by the kind courtesy of the Cookery Club at Worsley Bridge Junior School in Beckenham. Do try the recipe and enjoy it (and feel free to bring a sample round to one of our offices!).

On a slightly less tasty note, our Tulse Hill office recently sponsored a police talk in Hitherfield Primary School in Streatham. Pupils need to know things that are good for their future safety and good citizenship and we were glad to help with that too.
