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.

We run a weekly Year 7 Cookery Club, focussing on quick snacks and bakes using seasonal ingredients where possible; dedicated sessions for Year 10 students who might want to work on their Duke of Edinburgh’s Award cookery skills; and a Cooking for Uni Club where Lower Sixth students are provided with the space to cook their own lunch once per week in preparation for life beyond school.
