Food Science and Nutrition

1. Make sure the students keep up to date with work set in class. After every lesson students should read over the notes and look to read around the subject using the guided reading text in the exam board. This will stand the students in good stead for the external exam they will take in June of year 12.

2. We will be cooking every week in school. It is important that students choose involved, high level skill recipes to practise skills and get help from the teacher. The exam board expects students to be able to produce restaurant quality food.

3. Students must continue to practice food preparation skills at home.

4. Make sure students are fully familiar with the assessment criteria from the exam board - you must read through the requirements of ALL the Pass, Merit and Distinction grading criteria for the unit we are working on. We will start an internal assessment after the October half term. It is worth 50% of year one.

5. Attend after school food support classes where required. Support classes are generally run every Monday after school and are designed for students to complete work under staff supervision.
