Curriculum Intent
Our Food Technology curriculum equips young people with the practical knowledge, life skills, and self-awareness they need to thrive. We intend to deliver a purposeful, practically focused curriculum rooted in cross-curricular learning, enabling young people to make meaningful links between food, health, the environment, and their wider development.
