🌍📚 Happy World Book Day! 📚🌍

This morning, our Year 7 & 8 students dived into creative writing during our special World Book Day sessions – and they were absolutely inspiring! ✨

We explored storytelling, imagination, and key writing themes, and the results were incredible. So much so that we’re excited to launch a story writing competition for our young authors to showcase their talent! 🖋️

We are enjoying so many fantastic moments from today’s sessions – these budding writers are full of creative energy!

We need your help 👀

As many of you know, we’re launching The Free From Food Company Prep Kitchen – our new division creating healthy ready meals that are completely free from the 14 major allergens.

We’re adding a Prep Kitchen stamp to our logo so people instantly know which meals are from this new range.

But we can’t decide which version works best…

⬅️ Logo 1 – subtle corner stamp
➡️ Logo 2 – bold overlapping stamp

Which one do you prefer?

Comment 1 or 2 below 👇

And if you had to grab a ready meal from us, what dish would you want to see first?

Your ideas really do shape what we create next ❤️

Such a beautiful venue and the owners are truly wonderful. During our visit she made us some Japanese bread topped with beans, tomato and a fermented ingredient she prepares herself. The taste was sensational – a gentle spice on the tongue with beautifully balanced, exquisite flavours.

As a vegetarian and former vegan, she really understands how to cook with depth and care. She is incredibly knowledgeable about food and ingredients, and I would feel completely safe eating her food anytime.

It’s the perfect venue for something a little special.

Orchid House Worthing – thank you for having us.
We were kindly invited by Rocket Marketing to taste and share our review.

In an allergic medical emergency, staying calm is not always easy. That is why knowing what to do is so important.

Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of allergic reaction. It is potentially life-threatening, and symptoms can escalate very quickly. If you suspect anaphylaxis, administer your AAI (adrenaline auto-injector, such as EpiPen or Jext in the UK) immediately.

If you even suspect anaphylaxis, act without delay.

When allergic symptoms begin, many people question what they are seeing or experiencing:
👉Is this anaphylaxis, or is it just a bad allergic reaction that antihistamines will relieve?
👉If I wait just a bit longer, might the symptoms start to subside?
👉I am definitely feeling worse, but I’m not sure my reaction is severe enough to use my EpiPen.
👉What if I use my EpiPen and it is not anaphylaxis?
👉How unwell do I need to feel before I act?
👉How ill does my child need to be before I inject?

The guidance is clear: if you suspect anaphylaxis, even if you are not certain, administer your adrenaline auto-injector immediately and call 999 for an ambulance.

The risk of untreated anaphylaxis far outweighs the risk of giving adrenaline unnecessarily. Adrenaline is the only first-line treatment for the severe symptoms of anaphylaxis. There is no substitute. Antihistamines will not halt anaphylaxis.

To grow your confidence:
✖️Ask your GP for a trainer pen and practise using it.
✖️Always carry two adrenaline auto-injectors in case a second dose is needed before emergency help arrives.

Being prepared can reduce hesitation. In an anaphylaxis emergency, acting quickly can save a life. Please share this far and wide. If you suspect anaphylaxis, act without delay.
