Food & Nutrition Big Idea Focus Aims Learning Outcomes
Food
&
Cooking
This scheme of work has been
developed to enable pupils to
learn where food comes from,
how to cook a range of dishes
safely and hygienically and to
apply their knowledge of
healthy eating.
Pupils will have the opportunity
to work through the following
contexts:
Domestic and local (home
and health);
Industrial (food and
agriculture).
Pupils will develop their knowledge and
understanding of ingredients and healthy
eating;
Pupils will develop food preparation and cooking
techniques;
Pupils will develop their knowledge of consumer
food and drink choice;
Pupils will be able to apply their knowledge to
make informed choices;
Pupils will develop the creative, technical and
practical expertise needed to perform
everyday tasks confidently;
Pupils will build an apply a repertoire of
knowledge, understanding and skills in
order to make high quality products for a
wide range of users;
Pupils will evaluate and test their products and
the work of others.
Recall and apply the principles of The eatwell guide
and the 8 tips for healthy eating, to their own
diet;
Demonstrate a range of food preparation and
cooking techniques;
Adapt and follow recipes using appropriate
ingredients and equipment to prepare and cook
a range of dishes;
Recall and apply the principles of food safety and
hygiene;
Identify how and why people make different food
and drink choices;
Be given regular opportunities to demonstrate and
apply their knowledge and understanding of
food science;
Be given regular opportunities to consolidate their
literacy and numeracy skills by using them
purposefully in order to learn.
Students will have a double Food & Nutrition lesson once a fortnight. The focus of the lessons will always be practical work. All ingredients for the practical lessons are provided free of
charge. Students are expected to bring in a suitable dish and container to transport home the products made.
During year 7 the students make the following dishes:
Fruit salad, Flapjacks, Soup & Bread, Chicken Kebabs, Fruit Crumble, Pizza, Breakfast muffins, Quesadillas, Scones, Lentil Chili & Naan and Quorn Stir Fry. At the end of each term

Assessments
Assessments may take many forms such as teacher assessment, an extended piece of writing or a more formal test.
Homework
Set occasionally to support and develop class work.
Other information to support learning
Being aware of current affairs will help students develop an understanding of how every day issues can have an impact on society. News outlets designed for children, such as Newsround (http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround), are a good place to start. Other programmes such as documentaries, and to some extent soap operas, will also raise issues that pupils can discuss, analyse and evaluate. The best things for pupils to do is discuss the topics they have studied and any issues raised whether in class or outside school through conversations with friends & family. We encourage debate so pupils can learn to understand, criticise and evaluate the views of others, as well as learning to justify their own opinions.
Extra
Please note that the Sex & Relationships Education (SRE), being healthy and first aid lessons are mostly presented by the school nurse and supported by the normal class teacher. A letter is sent out close to the time that SRE starts but further information is available on request.

At King’s School we have embraced Life Without Levels and have rewritten the assessment system in Music as a result. Through studying a curriculum which is rich in Listening & Appraising, Composing and Performing, students gain confidence in interpreting and using notation; they collaborate, create, imagine and succeed in conveying meaning and expression through music. Each half term students are given the opportunity to peer and self-assessment. Students are also given a final assessment at the end of each half term; the assessment relates to either a significant Composition or Performance task which demonstrates skills and knowledge developed over the Unit.
