Bake Off 2026 winners announced, featured image

On Friday of last week eight Oathall students did battle it out in the every popular, annual Bake Off event.

They had the morning to bake their creations – the theme this year being, The Circus. And the judges confirmed the standard of baking was exceptional.

Cuckfield Lindfield & Haywards Heath Rotary – sponsors of the event for over a decade – co-judged the bakes (along with Oathall teachers Mrs K Tyers, Mrs S Kirkpatrick and representatives from our catering team) and awarded marks based on appearance and taste.

All eight students received a goody bag containing measuring spoons, cupcake moulds, cake skewers and silicone spatulas – along with their certificate and personalised Bake Off apron!

But there had to be overall winners. Emily, Isobel and Alexis also received a voucher for £30, £20 and £10 respectively.
