Developing Cultural Capital
In our schemes of learning in Food Technology we develop cultural awareness by making referencing to cultural heritage and we encourage children to be aware of the ever-changing world, and how this effects the products we use and the food we eat.
Careers Education
Our curriculum aims to engage pupils with potential careers by referring to the ‘bigger picture’. We reference the food production industries in our schemes of learning from years 7-13 to deepen pupils understanding of how the world that surrounds us works.
In Year 10 and 11 we offer advice and guidance about potential routes to post 16 that will lead onto chosen careers, this includes working with the sixth form team to offer advice about complimentary subjects to take at A-level. In Year 12 and 13 we help pupils to explore individual routes including university degrees, work experience, apprenticeships and job prospects.
