The TV star cut a celebration cake which had been made to look like the schools crest. Antony was there to open the schools new kitchen for the food technology department and whilst there chatted to staff and pupils about his passion for cooking and his time in the jungle during his stay in “I’m a celebrity get me out of here”

He was presented with a personalised black apron and a set of oven gloves, whilst there Antony Worrall Thompson signed a 5 foot long wooden spoon that had been commissioned especially for the occasion and will be displayed in the new kitchen on the wall to inspire pupils

Headmaster Jonathan Wansey said “We all thank Antony Worrall Thompson very much for visiting us and officially opening our new Food Technology room. This is a wonderful addition to the excellent range of facilities we have at Crosfields.

“The room has been very well designed to maximise on the space available and is centrally located within our new art and science building, The Oaks, which opened in 2007.

“I know that all our pupils are looking forward to using it and creating many tasty dishes, some inspired I am sure by recipes from Antony’s cookery books.”
