The ideal candidate will have Qualified Teacher Status, having completed the PGCE or SCITT course as a route to QTS, and will have good knowledge of the Food Technology and Nutrition Curriculum to KS4.
As a subject the school are able to provide their pupils with a GCSE and life skills in culinary art, healthy eating and transferable skills such as teamwork, problem solving and creative thinking.
This subject offers both practical and theory based learning and is suitable for all types of learners and differing learning styles. Students are building on the basic culinary skills they have learnt to be able to cook with independence. The recipes at Key Stage 3 are designed so that students acquire basic skills as some may never have cooked or not cooked in a long time. Students will learn about the properties of ingredients and develop their understanding of food nutrition and food safety.
As well as learning about healthy eating in lesson time the food curriculum area organise activities encouraging students to get involved in national initiatives such as BNF Healthy Eating week and National Breakfast week. This has involved students taking part in live cook a long sessions, breakfast clubs and tutor activities. In the summer term we also hold our annual 'cram it on a cupcake competition' giving students and staff the opportunity to show off their creativity and cake decorating skills.
The examination board followed is AQA but are happy to receive applications from Educators experienced with other specifications.
