The KS3 Food curriculum is designed to offer access to a range of practical cooking skills and projects such as: Health and Safety and Healthy Eating; Food Provenance and Nutrition; The Catering Industry and Environmental Considerations, as well as inspirational ideas from different cultures, food settings and Chefs . These topics provide opportunities for students to be creative and experiment with a range of ingredients and skills. To enable students to leave the classroom with more confidence and independence than when they arrived, lessons will build on food preparation, use of equipment, menu design and making skills with techniques and practical lessons increasing in difficulty each year. Students also revisit knowledge and understanding collected throughout KS3. Through engagement with these tasks, students will develop communication skills, social skills, confidence and adaptability skills and, above all, independence which will help them in their future education pathways and careers. The KS4 Catering curriculum is designed to continue to offer access to a range of preparing and making styles; more in depth theory connected to the hospitality and catering industry and complex practical lessons, including cooking more than one dish at a time, as well as taking inspiration from the dishes and styles from different cultures, countries, specialist diets, festivals and celebrations. These topics provide opportunities for students to experiment and take creative risks with a wider range of ingredients and skills, building and developing their knowledge and understanding from KS3. To enable students to leave the classroom with increased confidence and independence than when they arrived, lessons will continue to build on planning and designing menus and ‘making skills’ with techniques increasing in difficulty. Through engagement with these tasks, students will further develop communication skills, social skills, confidence and adaptability skills and above all independence which will help them in their future education pathways and careers. |
