The F&TT department aims to equip you with the knowledge and skills to be independent and make informed choices. Our hope is that you will discover a life-long passion for food and cooking and working with textiles. Nurture is central to our teaching approach and we will support and encourage you to be yourself and be confident to try your best.

You will all be with us in S1 and S2 and you may choose to take Practical Cookery or Fashion and Textile Technology into S3 and S4 - some of you take both subjects. In S5 and S6 you can opt to study Higher Health and Food Technology, Higher Fashion and Textile Technology, N5 Practical Cookery or N5 Practical Cake Craft.

In F&TT there are lots of opportunities for you to build skills for life and for work such as helping with the school catering events, cooking in the community and young chef competitions. We firmly believe that being able to cook for yourself and perform basic textile repairs are essential life skills and these skills will become increasingly important in the future as our natural resources come under threat.

Mrs McKelvie is our principle teacher and she is joined by Mrs Rogers, Mrs Bayne, Miss Henderson and Miss Reid. Our final department member is Mrs Carr who prefers to be known as Leslie and Leslie keeps us all going with her incredible organisational skills and her legendary sense of humour.

You can find us on the first floor - our door is always open so please come along and say hello.
