TWO pupils at the Samuel Ward Upper School were ready, steady, cooking ­ in aid of Comic Relief.

Year 11 students James Shepstone and Simon Driver donned their aprons and cooked different dishes with the ingredients their "celebrity" guests ­ Howard Lay, headteacher and Jackie Walters, head of sixth form ­ bought for £5.

As with the television programme, the chefs were only given 20 minutes to prepare and cook their mini-masterpieces, so the event fitted nicely into the lunch break.

Other pupils paid money to see the mayhem, and all the money collected is going towards Comic Relief.

The school also held a Weakest Link-style competition which raised £60. Ann Robinson was played by the new deputy head, Catherine Tooze, who, like the TV personality, has red hair.
