AQA
Food preparation and nutrition is designed to equip students with the knowledge, understanding and skills required to cook and apply the principles of food science, nutrition and healthy eating. It should encourage students to cook and enable them to make informed decisions about a wide range of further learning opportunities and career pathways as well as develop vital life skills that enable them to feed themselves and others affordably and nutritiously, now and later in life.
Students will address the following areas over the course of the year:
Students will receive structured and detailed feedback every three weeks on how to improve and move forward. They will also receive separate targets to enable them to meet the requirements of the course. Verbal feedback is always given throughout lessons and should be recorded on their verbal feedback sheet for reference.
Students should always arrive with a pen, pencil, ruler, rubber and a selection of coloured pencils. Students will always be informed of special requirements as and when necessary. During the course students will be required to provide ingredients for the practical sessions and must be organised and responsible for ensuring they have the correct ingredients for their requirements.
Home learning is set and marked in line with the whole school policy. Templates exemplars and supporting materials are available for reference and use where necessary to complete the necessary coursework based independent study.
Each area has a selection of text books used to support classroom delivery.
