Food Technology

Staff helping with chopping

Our school's latest project is the development of a new Food Technology curriculum. Since our new building opened, we are fortunate enough to have an entire room dedicated to cookery. Therefore, we want to make maximum use of our brand new facilities to ensure our children grow up being able to feed their family home cooked meals that are healthy and nutritious. Miss Coombs, with the help of Mrs Brown and Mrs Haines, has been working hard to organise a food themed project for each year group in Key Stage Two.Our younger children in Years R - 2 have a number of opportunities to cook throughout the year linked to their theme work such as making a healthy pizza or or making jelly for a birthday party. Our older children in Years 3 - 6  spend an afternoon a week during their cookery project in the Food Tech room and they even have chance to bring home what they have made. They are also given the recipes, so they can practise their culinary skills again at home with their parents!


Children weighing out ingredients

This initiative is part of our work to ensure we retain our Healthy Schools status and is key in making sure our children have the skills to produce healthy meals so they are able to lead healthy lives in the future.  Our next planned development is to create a garden so that the children can grow their own fruit and vegetables to cook with.

Below you will find  the recipes for each  year group's food technology project. Please use these recipes to re-cook items with your children at home, once they have been taught how to do them in school. Please try to refrain from trying out recipes before the lesson, as it will spoil the impact of the experience at school. We hope you enjoy tasting the children's culinary delights.Maybe you will even be able to put your feet up and watch your child cook dinner for you!
