Home Economics

Welcome to the Home Economics Department

Home Economics at Dumbarton Academy equips students with essential life skills that support healthy, independent living. Our department provides a hands-on, practical learning environment where pupils explore topics such as nutrition, food preparation, consumer education, and family life.

Through engaging and relevant lessons, students develop confidence in the kitchen, understand the importance of balanced diets and sustainability, and learn how to make informed choices in everyday life. We place a strong emphasis on real-world application, creativity, and responsibility.

Home Economics at Dumbarton Academy is about preparing students not just for exams—but for life.
