Food Preparation and Nutrition – Learning Journey

Curriculum opportunities: Key Stage 3

Curriculum implementation:

As an Academy we have a range of clear standards and expectations of our pupils however each subject area has its own individual practices and habits that ensure that it can function to its optimum.

Curriculum delivery: 

In KS3 students are introduced to Food and Nutrition through a range of practical work using a variety of skills. Lessons are taught in mixed ability classes and will focus on theory of ingredients, methods and skills. The skills set are developed from Y7-Y9 in a sequential manner allowing progression and development of key cooking  skills.

KS4 Food, Preparation and Nutrition will enable students to deepen their understanding and skills.  KS4 Food Preparation and Nutrition is assessed through portfolio work and exam testing.
