Food Technology

Food Technology at the Park is studied by every year group and weekly lessons combine creative and practical activities with the principles of nutrition, hygiene and healthy eating.

We consider being able to cook as an important life skill and our students are taught how to prepare snacks and meals for themselves and others.

In KS3 the emphasis is on acquiring basic skills and understanding how to eat healthily. In KS4 we run both BTEC and ASDAN courses and all students work towards accreditation. They are encouraged to use the skills they have learnt as independently as possible to produce healthy, nutritionally balanced dishes. The design element of the subject is met through the opportunity to plan meals, adapt recipes, and select ingredients to suit personal tastes.
