Btec Level 1/2 Home Cooking
Curriculum Intent:
At RVC we give our students an opportunity to learn essential cooking skills and knowledge. We aim to give every young person the basic skills and knowledge to be able to cook for them-selves in a healthy, cost-effective way, as well as gain the confidence to share these skills with friends and family.
KS4 Implementation:
Pupils will work individually and as a team in practical lessons to develop their confidence within the kitchen environment. The learners will also complete fortnightly cooking evaluation sheets in order to reflect upon their learning and consider ways to improve their dishes. Students will have a greater understanding of ICT skills.
KS4 Impact:
On completion of the Home Cooking course, the impact of the knowledge and understanding enables pupils to cook a variety of healthy and nutritious dishes. Pupils will be competent in a range of cooking techniques. Home Cooking is an essential life skill. It allows for creativity, innovation and problem solving allowing pupils to make informed choices about food, diet and budgets. Pupils are constantly working towards objectives which will enable them to gain a BTEC qualification.
