‘Every kid in every school no matter their background, deserves to learn the basics about food- where it comes from, how to cook it and how it affects their bodies. These life skills are as important as reading and writing.’ – Jamie Oliver.
KS3 Food
KS3 Food links together knowledge and understanding of food, including; healthier eating and nutrition, practical cooking skills, a knowledge of ingredients, their source and the science of using them.
It aims to meet identified guidelines published by Public Health England—Food teaching in secondary schools: A framework of knowledge and skills, as well as supporting the Government’s ‘Change for Life ‘campaign. It also has links to the D&T National Curriculum.
There are direct links to the world of work, particularly the Hospitality and Catering sector. We are proud of the links we have with The Crowne Plaza hotel in Nottingham. Reference is also made to food production, diet and nutrition related careers.
