Welcome to the Food Technology Department

The aim of the Food Technology course is to inspire in pupils a sense of excitement in this practical subject.  Pupils are encouraged to develop knowledge of healthy eating, sustainable living and being able to provide a healthy, balanced diet.

Please see below to learn more about the Food Technology curriculum at St Monica’s.

In Food Technology during KS3 students will develop an understanding of the many items I can make at home and in my future life. To think about where food comes from. An opportunity to reflect on the food choices they make and how that affects their health. They will develop cooking skills that can provide a variety of homemade family meals. They will learn about meals from around the world and how to make them. They recognise the feelings we gain from cooking for ourselves and how they can apply to life. Students will be challenged to work safely and work to a timeframe! They will develop an awareness that cooking is enjoyable and essential in looking after themselves.
