This saw 5 schools competing in total, with 9 students cooking overall. 

Both Ameleigh and Aseel created incredible dishes, as you can see below, with the leading judge, 2 Michelin-starred Hywel Griffiths of Oxwich Beach House, keeping a careful eye throughout the cooking, presenting and tasting stages. Against incredible competition, we are thrilled that Ameleigh won! She will now head to the Wales final in January, to try and win a place in the UK final in London. Good luck Ameleigh and congratulations to all of our wonderful pupils so far for their hard work and incredible, edible, creations!
