PEOPLE in Yarnton will be able to experience chilli and maple syrup-flavoured sausages for the first time thanks to a school project.

Pupils from William Fletcher Primary School have been making and selling sausages to fundraise for the school. They created the sausages with the help of local businesses including Budgens and The Meat Joint butchers at Irondown Farm, Deddington.

Years 5 and 6 pupils have been marketing the final products, which will go on sale later this month at Budgens in Yarnton.

The money raised will go towards buying new utensils for the school’s new kitchen, which will be opened in September.

Pupils were asked to come up with imaginative ideas for flavourings, and suggestions were whittled down to three final options.

The school launched the project last Thursday with a tasting session for judges.
