Great letters of recommendation can open doors that your application or transcript alone can’t. Whether you’re applying to grad school or a scholarship, a compelling letter adds credibility and a personal touch to your achievements.
Here’s some way on how to make sure
you get the best possible letter:
1️⃣ Ask the right people
Choose someone who knows you well-not just someone with a big title. A teacher, mentor, or supervisor who can speak to your growth, character, and accomplishments will always write a stronger letter than someone who barely knows you.
2️⃣ Ask early
Give your recommender at least 4-6 weeks’ notice. This shows respect for their time and gives them space to write a thoughtful, detailed letter-not a rushed paragraph.
3️⃣ Follow up (politely)
Life gets busy. A gentle reminder every couple of weeks before the deadline can be helpful. And always send a thank-you note, ideally with an update on the outcome. It builds relationships and shows appreciation.

@Mattyedgell’s Soft Sandwich Bread. Prept.
Join Matty Edgell, winner of The Great British Bake Off 2023, as he shares a simple and delicious soft sandwich loaf recipe that’s perfect for all your fave fillings and butties! 🍞
Ingredients
500g Strong bread flour
320g Water
1tsp caster sugar
2tbsp olive oil, plus extra
10g Fast action dried yeast
1tsp salt
Method
Step 1
Place the flour into a large mixing bowl along with the yeast and sugar. Use your hands to mix the yeast and sugar throughout the flour and then add the water.
Step 2
Use your hand the mix the water into the flour until it is nearly absorbed and it starts to form a ball. Add the salt and olive oil and continue to mix the ingredients to until all of the ingredients are combined and the dough forms a ball.
Step 3
When a ball forms, turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 10-15 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic and no longer sticks to your fingers when touched.
Step 4
Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with oiled cling film or a clean towel and leave for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 5
Once the dough has doubled in size, ‘knock back’ the dough (this means remove the air from the dough) by tipping it onto a work surface and using your hand to push the air out.
Step 6
Shape the dough into a rectangle shape and place into a 2lb loaf tin. Cover the dough in oiled cling film or with a clean towel and allow to rise for 45-60 minutes.
Step 7
Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to 190C. Once risen, place the tin into the oven. Measure 50ml of water and throw into the bottom of the oven and close the door immediately. This will cause steam and help the dough to rise.
Step 8
Bake for 20 minutes before turning the temperature down to 170C and baking for a further 25minutes. Remove the dough when it is golden and sounds hollow when tapped.
Step 9
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool fully on a wire rack.

🎉 Alumni Spotlight: Aniya Montgomery 🌟
We are so proud to highlight the amazing Aniya Montgomery, an incredibly talented choreographer and one of our shining stars! ✨ This year, Aniya has choreographed two stunning dances for us (featured above) that showcase her creativity and skill. Not only is she an inspiring choreographer, but she’s also pursuing a major in Health Science with a Pre-PT track! 💪📚
Aniya shared, “Scenic City Dance has shaped me not only as a dancer but as an artist and individual. Being surrounded by so much talent and support gave me the confidence to trust myself and my artistry. The training and mentorship I received not only gave me the tools to bring my ideas to life and to the stage but also prepared me to seek further professional training in the dance world. I am beyond grateful for everything SCD has poured into me!”
We are beyond grateful for Aniya’s contributions and can’t wait to see all the amazing things she’ll continue to do! 🌟
Chattanooga. Dance. Education. Training. Learning. Class. Fun.

We have teamed up with prept Foundation, a wonderful charity that works with young people to help guide their way on a positive food journey. 🧑🍳
They educate children to create healthy relationships with food, build essential cooking skills, and understand the importance of what we put in our bodies and how it fuels us. This is something that is really important to us as a family! 💯
Their overall aim is to inspire a new generation to enjoy cooking and to make cooking accessible to all. We decided to make some delicious pizza! (Our favourite) 😍🍕
