Around 15 home economics students at Falkirk's Graeme High School aim to prove they're the top chefs in Forth Valley - and then Scotland - in a brand new cookery challenge.

They’ll be gaining inspiration from high profile professional chef Mark Heirs, a Graeme High School former pupil, but will use their own initiative to choose their ingredients and concoct a menu that will thrill the judging panel.

The school’s entry in the Springboard Future Chef contest was arranged by teachers (pictured) Amy Walls and Chloe Hamilton, who say there’s huge enthusiasm among the 12 to 16 year olds involved.

“This is a completely new thing for the school, but while it hasn’t been tried before we are sure the kids are going to give it everything they’ve got”, said Amy.
