Food & Nutrition Department

In the Food department we aim to provide a curriculum which ensures that every student will become confident and independent within the kitchen environment to prepare them for life. Knowledge of nutrition, food provenance, sustainability, health, hygiene and safety will be underpinned by hands-on practical experiences.

• In Years 7 and 8, students study food once a fortnight and this is predominantly a hands-on practical lesson. 

• In Years 9, 10 and 11, if students have opted for catering they will cook once a week alongside their theory lessons. 

You can find below the list of practical ingredients that are required for each year group. These are in the correct order and read horizontally.   Ingredients should be weighed out in advance of the lesson so that the students have the correct amounts needed for the recipes.  The ingredients as well as the dates they are due can be accessed on Google Classroom. The recipes can be adapted to suit allergies, intolerances and other dietary requirements and this can be discussed with your child's food teacher.
