On Thursday 1st May 2025, budding chefs from Droylsden Academy dusted off their aprons to take part in the annual MasterChef Competition final.
The final of the schools MasterChef competition is held at Tameside One’s campus in Ashton.
The competition is a huge success for Droylsden Academy each year.
Mason, Caitlin and Miracle were the three students who made it through to the grand finale, where their brief was to prepare and cook from scratch a two-course meal.
The students from year 8 and 9 battled it out in the kitchen on Thursday afternoon for the first-place position.
Mason made spaghetti and meatballs and profiteroles for dessert.
Caitlin made vegetarian fajitas for a main with Eton Mess for dessert.
And Miracle made dumplings for a starter with garlic butter salmon and asparagus for main.
The standard for all of the meals was exceptionally high, but the judges made a tough decision and crowned Caitlin as their winner for the Droylsden Academy 2025 MasterChef Competition.
Nick Lowe, cover supervisor and event’s coordinator from Droylsden Academy, said: “I love the programme and working with young people and I like cooking as well, so I want to be able to give them a chance to go above and beyond what they taught in school. It’s exciting for them as well and the school tries to offer as much as it can do.
“I advertise it in the school, and they have to give their names to their form tutor. We do four first rounds and then it’s a case of whoever does best during those.”
The students win a MasterChef trophy made by the design and technology department in the school, and they also all get a laminated certificate.
