Design & Technology (Food)

Welcome to the Food Department where students learn the invaluable life skill of cooking and the pleasure of creating a wide variety of mouth-watering dishes. Our philosophy is to develop creative, confident and independent cooks. Through following the National Curriculum, the focus is on learning a wide variety of cooking skills whilst working safely and hygienically. The dishes selected to cook in practical lessons are chosen carefully to practice specific skills, whilst being mindful of cost, dietary requirements and lesson time. As well as practical cooking lessons, students will carry out a range of activities to develop their subject vocabulary, knowledge of and understanding of food-related topics.
