From Field to Fork: GCSE Pupils Gain a Taste of the Hospitality Industry

Arc School Ansley’s GCSE pupils enjoyed a memorable visit to Miller & Carter, where they explored the journey from field to fork, discovered how a professional kitchen operates, and even cooked their own steaks on the grill.

Our GCSE group were fortunate to visit Miller & Carter, where they gained valuable insight into the hospitality industry. Pupils experienced first-hand how the kitchen team prepares, cooks, and serves the meals offered to customers. They also attended an engaging "Field to Fork" presentation, which helped them understand the journey of the beef used in the restaurant’s steak dishes.

The highlight of the visit was the opportunity for pupils to cook their own steak on the grill before enjoying the finished product. The experience was both educational and enjoyable, providing a meaningful link between learning and industry practice.

Thank you Miller & Carter for welcoming us.

We recently took our pupils on an unforgettable journey to infinity and beyond with our first ever MILE Day, the Mapesbury Immersive Learning Experience.

On 22 May, our school was transformed into a galaxy far, far away as classrooms became starships, space stations and alien worlds. The day brought learning to life through hands on challenges, teamwork and a playful sci fi storyline that placed pupils right at the centre of the action.

For our debut MILE Day, we embraced a Space and Sci Fi theme, complete with atmospheric lighting, sound effects and nods to classics such as Star Trek and Star Wars. Pupils became members of the Mapesbury Space Fleet, working together to complete an intergalactic mission.

Staff and pupils fully embraced the experience, dressing in Space Fleet inspired outfits as different areas of the school were transformed into immersive sci fi zones.

Forces, Flight & Fantastic Discoveries at the FAST Museum

Students from Fernways School enjoyed an exciting visit to the FAST Museum, where they explored the science of forces and the fascinating history of flight. They learned how planes fly, saw a prototype of the very first plane, and discovered the incredible story of aviation pioneer Samuel Cody. Highlights included sitting inside a real helicopter, stepping into an air raid shelter, and viewing a range of amazing historical artefacts. It was a memorable hands‑on experience that brought science and history to life and inspired plenty of curiosity and questions back in the classroom!
