Food Studies
Head of Subject: Mrs L Greenwood
Intent
To develop an understanding of food and nutrition, which will equip the students with the skills to plan and make a range of healthy dishes. This will prepare the students to make informed dietary choices throughout life.
Our subject will teach students to be resilient and be able to tackle and solve problems for themselves.
In Food Studies we are passionate about equipping the students with the knowledge, understanding and skills required to cook and apply the principles of nutrition and healthy eating. We strive to expose our students to exciting new flavours, cuisines and ingredients and develop a love of food. We facilitate our students to make informed decisions about a wide range of further learning opportunities and career pathways in the food industry. Our curriculum will inspire students to cook creatively, as well as develop vital life skills that enable them to feed themselves and others affordably and nutritiously, now and later in life.
