      Danebury Food Blog – 13 June 2025

      There is nothing better than a home-cooked meal that is quick and nutritious.  Each week we will be sharing recipes that have been nominated by pupils or members of staff, that are more delicious than freezer food and considerably cheaper than ordering a takeaway.  In addition, we will be sharing news about the fantastic food preparation undertaken by our pupils.

      Pupil Choice Recipe

      A number of pupils have requested the recipe for the “healthy” Churros that a few of them have experienced in their Food lessons and in their Loric session.  So here it is:

      Crumpet Churros

      Ingredients

      • 4 crumpets, sliced into thin fingers
      • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
      • 2 tbsp golden caster sugar, plus extra for serving
      • 2 tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra for serving

      Method

      • Place the crumpet fingers in a bowl, drizzle over the melted butter and stir to coat the crumpets.
      • Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a separate bowl, and then sprinkle onto the crumpet fingers.
      • Mix everything together then place in the air fryer for 5–6 minutes at 180C.
      • Add extra sugar and cinnamon to the churros to taste, and serve alongside chocolate sauce for dipping.

    • Thank a Teacher Day

      Published 06/06/25, by Susan Braidley

      ‘Thank a Teacher Day’

      Wednesday 18 June is Thank a Teacher Day across the country, recognising educators' extraordinary contributions to young people across the country. The day celebrates professionals across all educational settings – from early years providers through to schools and colleges.

      At Danebury School we would like to offer you the opportunity to send a Thank You card to an amazing teacher today by clicking on this link.

      Students can send the thank you card directly to the teacher they would like to thank (they generally know the teachers email addresses). If parents would like to send a thank you card, please email the teacher if you know their address or send it to office@danebury.hispmat.org and we will forward it to them.

       

      Thank you for supporting our amazing Danebury Team!

      A simple thank you message can make a teacher's day. Help us celebrate the educators who shape our future.
