Food, Hospitality and Catering

Curriculum Vision

‘So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.’
- Franz Kafka -

We aim to promote a lifelong love of food and to empower students to make healthy choices throughout their lives.

Students will learn how to cook from scratch, developing the basic skills necessary to prepare a range of home-cooked meals. They will learn to make healthy, economic and sustainable food choices and will learn the importance of a nutritionally balanced diet. We will encourage them to be adventurous and experience new tastes and textures. Students will have a good understanding of personal and food hygiene and know how to work safely in a kitchen environment.

In year 7 and 8 our teaching forms part of the learning for life curriculum, what we call ‘food for life’, and focusses on the personal cooking skills needed for healthy independent living. 

In year 9 we start to consider the world of commercial catering in preparation for the Hospitality and Catering course.
