Shrove Tuesday Pancake Races Bring Laughter and Fun to the Academy

In the final week before half term, the Academy embraced the spirit of Shrove Tuesday with a lively round of pancake races that brought students and staff together in a burst of energy, teamwork, and good humour.

Armed with frying pans and determination, participants dashed across the course while flipping pancakes mid‑stride—a challenge that proved as entertaining to watch as it was to attempt. The air was filled with cheers, laughter, and the occasional pancake mishap, all adding to the joyful atmosphere.

The event was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to take a break from the usual routine and enjoy a tradition that blends friendly competition with plenty of fun. Whether they were racing, cheering from the sidelines, or simply enjoying the spectacle, everyone played a part in making the celebration memorable.

Great fun was had by all who took part, and the Academy looks forward to continuing this much‑loved Shrove Tuesday tradition in the years ahead.
