In Food lessons, pupils will develop a love for cooking a range healthy nutritional dishes whilst embedding the correct food safety and hygiene practices. We explore a range of cuisines which fosters cultural appreciation and develops a more varied palate. We also build knowledge of food provenance, environmental issues associated with food, nutrition and health to enable pupils to make informed choices, leading to a healthier diet and enhancing physical and mental health.
In Product Design students learn how to cut, shape and join different materials and components using a variety of hand, machine and CAM tools, to make functional products. They follow the design process to develop an understanding of the properties of the materials they are working with, and what influences their designs. Students rotate between specialist teachers, and typically spend 8-9 weeks in each specialism within Design Technology.
