As part of their current unit, students have been learning how to safely handle and use a range of kitchen knives. They focused on key techniques including the bridge hold and claw grip, helping them chop, slice and dice ingredients with precision and confidence. The lesson saw classrooms filled with the vibrant colours and fresh aromas of tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and peppers as students carefully prepared their ingredients. Not only were they practising important technical skills, but they were also learning about balanced diets and the nutritional value of fresh produce. Greek salad was the perfect recipe to combine these new skills, encouraging students to work independently while following hygiene and safety procedures correctly. Staff were impressed with the focus, maturity and enthusiasm shown throughout the lesson. Well done to all our Year 7 students for their excellent effort and growing confidence in the kitchen. We look forward to seeing their skills continue to develop over the year. - [ previous](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-02-24-year-11-students-take-part-in-preston-college-interviews) - [next ](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-02-27-headteacher-s-blog-20) [![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://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/Developing-Vocabulary) - [Learning Wall](http://lsa.thelearningwall.co.uk/) - [Student Support](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/student-support) - [Anti-Bullying Support](https://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://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://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://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/school-information/privacy-notices).
