Why we teach Food Technology

Food and nutrition are the foundation of our wellbeing. We live in a health crisis as a result of our diet, and it is our duty to equip young people with the enthusiasm, knowledge and skill to eat well and improve the nation’s health.

At St Paul’s Academy, we have a mixture of practical and theoretical lessons where we create, prepare, and cook a range of healthy, nutritious meals, which reflect different and special dietary needs. We believe it is important to expose children to the variety of healthy diets that embraces the nutrients that we need to live a healthy life. Students can then apply these skills to the wider world, impacting their family and future health and wellbeing.
