"I am glad I chose FP&N as I feel it has increased my knowledge of the needs for a healthy lifestyle that I can take with me when finishing school. I also feel I have learned a range of skills which are transferable to studying my other GCSE subjects which will benefit me in the future."

"While studying FP&N I have developed many skills that will help me in all aspects of my day-to-day life and in my future, at university for example. Not only have I learnt how to cook meals involving high level technical skills, it has also helped me improve my time management and organisation skills."

"My top tips for success in this subject at GCSE would be to be organised so that you don't miss out on any practical lessons for forgetting ingredients and to let your parents know in advance what ingredients you will be needing. I would also say that to be the best you can, you should practice at home too! This way you can be constantly developing skills as well as enjoying the food you make. Finally, I would say to ensure that you keep on top of the work set, this way meeting deadlines is easily achievable."
