Here at the IWEF, ensuring our students are fit and healthy is of great importance. Therefore, we ensure we provide a high-quality food education. Students are provided with a Food lesson every week where they will have the opportunity to learn a vast range of practical skills. The students are taught by subject specialist teachers with some even being qualified chefs.
Throughout years 7,8 and 9 students learn how to create well balanced meals while making food from scratch. Students can adapt and develop each recipe to ensure it is suitable for their needs.
The core theory is covered in years 7,8 and 9 with specific focus on the eatwell guide, government guidelines along with vitamins and minerals. These core elements are then developed throughout GCSE where the students have an opportunity to develop their skills even further, looking at butchery, pastry making and the science behind the functions of food.
Each year the quality of Food outcomes is developing to meet and exceed the tasks set. We are committed to teach, develop and perfect a wide range of preparation skills.
