Topic Intent:

Through the curriculum content, year 10 will be able to research, plan, prepare and cook a broad range of classic and modern recipes where they can demonstrate a wide range of high-level skills. Students will learn about nutrition, other cultures, how food is cooked and how to be economical when buying and preparing food. We believe in making the curriculum relevant to our students by linking live briefs into lesson content. Students will also understand where food comes from and how their choices will impact future generations. Students will be given an opportunity in year 10 to complete a mock NEA to prepare and practice for their year 11 NEA (50% of their total grade).
