Statement
Learning to cook is an essential skill which can be developed and honed through-out life.
Food Technology at Norton College stimulates creativity in our pupils and encourages them to be independent.
Year 7 builds on prior learning from KS2 about healthy eating and the Eatwell Guide. Students will learn how to design and make a composite meal using the Eatwell Guide. The recipes are designed to incorporate hob and cooker use and the production of products using biological and chemical raising agents. There is also emphasis on health, safety and hygiene requirements in a food production environment. In year 8 recipes are designed so that students acquire more advanced knife skills as well as pureeing, reduction and roux sauces. There is a greater emphasis placed on finishing techniques for food presentation and learning about the properties of ingredients such as raising agents and the functional properties of starch. Year 9 builds on prior learning about nutrition, looking at the different dietary needs throughout life stages and factors which affect food choice. Pupils look at the different job roles in the Hospitality and Catering Industry and the skills required to do these jobs. There is greater emphasis on food provenance and sustainability. Recipes are designed incorporate pastry, mechanical aeration and meat preparation.
