Apply to participate in the Future Chef Competition 2025

Are you a budding chef in Years 9 to 11? This October, we’ll be holding the school heat of Future Chef and we want you to take part!

Your challenge: create a delicious two-portion meal, including a main dish and an accompaniment, all within one hour and on a budget of £5. 

Ready-made pastry, pasta, or sauces aren’t allowed; it’s all about showcasing your own skills and creativity. Students need to think carefully about flavour, presentation and how to make their dish truly stand out.

The top two winners from our school will go forward to the local heat. Last year, Rowan went on to win the local round! Could you be next?

If you’re interested, please see or email Mrs Coman (clc@churchill-academy.org). The exact date of the school heat will be announced shortly – so get planning your dish!
