Learning what is in the food we eat, how our diet is linked to health and how to prepare delicious, nutritious food is a life skill. Students are encouraged to be independent and ambitious, and consider wider issues such as food inequality, climate change.
It is both a creative subject, and a subject which links to many other areas of learning, such as biology, chemistry, geography, sports science and psychology. Nutrition in the media can be a minefield of misinformation, and we equip students with the skills to be able to separate nutrition fact from fiction.

Our weekly Garden to Table Club gives students in Year 7 the opportunity to grow fresh fruit and vegetables from our greenhouse and cook seasonally. In Year 10, students from Abingdon join us for a fun and sociable after school Cooking Club, and in Lower Sixth students are encouraged to take part in our Cooking for Uni Club where they learn to cook nutritious, budget-friendly meals in preparation for the future.
