Key Stage 3

All students in Years 7 and 8 will study KS3 Food.

 
Through practical work, they will learn: nutrition; the function of ingredients; how to adapt and plan recipes to meet individual needs; develop practical skill and technique; how to evaluate and improve products; where food comes from; food safety and hygiene. They will acquire a wide range of skills, making predominantly savoury products and will learn to work to deadlines, acquire the essential literacy, numeracy and communication skills that enable them to progress.

 
Assessment in catering aims to capture the progress students are making at three points throughout the year. This enables teachers to know which topics or aspects of topics to re-teach which were not grasped the first time. Teachers can identify gaps in students’ learning and, through effective feedback, students can resolve misconceptions and swiftly develop further knowledge and skills.
