Our Curriculum Aims:

Food and Nutrition will enhance pupils' knowledge and understanding of what constitutes a healthy balanced diet and good nutrition.  This includes the Eat well guide, energy balance and the role of nutrients in a balanced diet.  We aim for the pupils to understand the relationship between diet, nutrition and health, including the physiological effects of poor diet and health.

Pupils will develop a range of different practical skills and make a repertoire of predominantly savoury products which meet current guidelines for healthy eating.  Pupils will understand and explore a range of ingredients and processes from different culinary traditions (traditional British and international), to inspire new ideas or modify existing recipes.

Food hygiene and safety is taught as an integral part of every lesson when preparing, cooking and serving food.

Understand seasonality and food environmental factors.

Develop knowledge and understanding of the functional properties and chemical processes as well as the nutritional content of food and drinks.

Understand the economic, environmental, ethical, and socio-cultural influences on food availability, production processes, and diet and health choices.
