Our students have wasted no time getting back into learning, with Year 10 Food students starting the term with an engaging and hands-on practical lesson. The focus of the session was learning how to **butcher a whole chicken**, an important skill that supports both real-world cooking knowledge and GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition requirements. The lesson began with a clear demonstration from **Mrs Gittings**, who talked students through each stage of the process before they had the opportunity to practise the techniques themselves. Students showed great focus and confidence as they applied what they had learned, developing knife skills, food preparation techniques, and a deeper understanding of how food is prepared from source to plate. These skills will play an important role in their upcoming practical GCSE assessments, as well as giving them valuable knowledge they can use beyond the classroom. It was a brilliant, practical way to start the new term and a great example of our commitment to preparing students with skills that are useful both academically and in everyday life. - [ previous](https://www.lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/news/2025-12-19-fond-farewell-to-our-lollipop-lady-bettina-magee) - [next ](https://www.lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-01-07-house-leaderboard-update-term-one) [![International School Award](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/isa-web-banner-300x70.jpg)](https://schoolsonline.britishcouncil.org/content/international-school-award-about)[![Stonewall](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/StonewallOG2(1).png)](http://www.stonewall.org.uk/)[![CEOP](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/blue_large_final_Click_CEOP_gif_(3).gif)](https://www.ceop.police.uk/safety-centre)![SSAT Member](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/SSAT_Member_Badge_Colour1.png)![We are reading ](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/We_Are_Reading_logo_(4).jpg)![Apprenticeship Champion](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/App_Champion_logo_School_badge-01(1).png)![Operation Encompass](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/logo-next-steps.png)[![Digital Healthy Schools](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/digital-healthy-schools-landscape-logo.3f633add.jpg)](https://lythamhigh-lancs.digitalhealthyschools.co.uk/) ### School Resources - [Developing Vocabulary](https://www.lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/Developing-Vocabulary) - [Learning Wall](http://lsa.thelearningwall.co.uk/) - [Student Support](https://www.lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/student-support) - [Anti-Bullying Support](https://www.lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/antibullying-support) ### Useful Links - [Microsoft 365 Copilot](https://login.microsoftonline.com/) - [Synergy](https://lsa.schoolsynergy.co.uk/) - [Synergy Parent Guides](https://www.lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/parents/synergy/synergy-guide) - [Student Synergy App (Apple)](https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/synergy-student/id6444856817) - [Student Synergy App (Android)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.synergy.student&hl=en_GB) - [Hire school facilities](https://www.lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/hire-us) - [CPOMS](https://lythamhigh.cpoms.net/) - [ Modern Slavery Statement](https://cctrust.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Modern-Slavery-Statement-Jan-26.pdf) ### Contact Us **Lytham St Annes High School** Albany Road Lytham St Annes Lancashire FY8 4GW Tel: 01253 733192 ### Connect With Us [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/LSAHighSchool/) [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@lythamstanneshighschool4750) [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/lsahighschool/) © Copyright 2013–2026 Lytham St Annes High School– [View Privacy Notice](https://www.lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/school-information/privacy-notices).
