The Rule of Law

Individual Liberty

Tolerance

In Food Technology we give pupils the basic knowledge of health, hygiene and safety which are then relied upon to use that knowledge in their lessons to ensure they are safe in our environment. These rules can be used in the outside world when they are cooking at home.  We give expectations for behaviour in every lesson.

In Design and Technology we understand that they are able to listen to others but can still use their own ideas and design choices when making their pencil case.  In product analysis, accept that others ideas may not be the same as their own but are able to accept this.

 In Food Technology this is well developed through looking at foods from other cultures e.g. potato and chickpea curry. We look at different faiths and beliefs and varying dietary needs e.g. vegetarians, cultural diets, missing meat etc, allergies. 

Spiritual

Moral

Social

Cultural

In Food Technology we provide pupils with the opportunity to participate in making and evaluating food from other countries learning about others from the world around them. E.g. bread tasting. Pupils are encouraged to recognise and respect cultural and social differences of other pupils within food lessons.

In Food Technology pupils reflect on the ethical issues around food such as food miles and sustainability. In year 6, pupils design a pizza using food in season to reduce food miles. Opportunities are provided to appreciate the views of others. Lessons and extra-curricular activities are offered so that pupils have enjoyment and a fascination to learn about the food they eat. Reflecting on the ethical issues around food such as price, income and fair trade. Opportunities are provided to appreciate the views of others. Promoting participation and teamwork in practical cooking lessons – encouraging pupils to work co-operatively. By developing individual skills, confidence, independence and creativity through practical cooking lessons. Pupils learn and make decisions about food safety and hygiene.

In Food Technology pupils the pupils are taught effective communication through collaborative learning, both during theory and practical lessons – this includes both peers and adults – and are encouraged to have positive interactions with one another. pupils peer and self-assess work, constructive feedback is taught. pupils are encouraged to consider the social responsibility of the food industry including food choice, issues surrounding food and packaging, as well as wastage. In year 8 pupils look at different needs and how we need to be inclusive and design and adapt recipes for certain diets. 

In Food Technology pupils are encouraged to recognise and respect the cultural and social differences of other pupils. Pupils learn about Government guidance given on healthy eating and the concern for the health of the British population (Eatwell Guide). Pupils learn how different cultures have different dietary needs depending what the can or cannot eat. E.g. no pork. Pupils learn to cook a variety of recipes including traditional British foods and world foods. In year 8, the pupils make spinach and chick pea curry.
