More than 70 year ten design and technology students at Hurworth School Maths and Computing College have taken part in an industrial production day.

The pupils, including Joanna Dinsdale and Sian Sunley, pictured, converted classrooms into a factory to produce, package and label small butterfly cakes, which were then sold to students and staff.

Each student was given a task, including making cakes, forming and cutting the packaging or applying labels.

Teacher Rita Rees said: "The aim of the day was to learn about batch production, one of the topics taught at GCSE, and this was an excellent way for the students to learn."
