Sixth Form students at Royal High School Bath have begun their Leiths Confident Cookery 30 course, making an impressive start as they develop their culinary skills.
Looking smart in their new chef whites and equipped with engraved knives, the girls are excited to immerse themselves in the renowned Leiths programme.
The 30-week course is designed for students who want to master essential cookery techniques through a wide range of recipes, preparing them for travel, independent living and future opportunities. By the end of Year 12, students can achieve a Leiths Accredited Qualification alongside a Health and Hygiene certification, opening doors to gap year experiences and private chef opportunities.
Their first lesson focused on knife skills and vegetable preparation, with students creating butternut squash and coconut soup. The following week, they moved on to ‘Get Ahead Breakfasts’, learning the value of planning ahead, coordinating recipes and balancing flavours and textures.
The menu included maple granola, overnight oats and American pancakes, all beautifully presented with vibrant colours and thoughtful attention to detail.
The school has praised the girls for their impressive efforts so far, with particular thanks to Mrs Goy for her guidance and enthusiasm.
The Leiths course is one of Royal High Bath’s Sixth Form Electives, which allow students to explore interests beyond their core A Level subjects and Future Skills Programme.
Designed to complement academic studies while reflecting individual passions and ambitions, the electives include opportunities such as AS Levels and the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), helping students broaden their knowledge and develop valuable independent research, critical thinking and practical skills.
