Food Technology

Cooking is an important life skill for pupils to learn for their future independent living. At Coln House all pupils learn the basic cookery skills to prepare day-to-day food in weekly Food Technology lessons. As well as practical work it is important that pupils learn how to plan and budget for meals and work safely and hygienically.
Nutrition plays a strong part in the curriculum, pupils learn about a balanced diet, how food affects our body and the need for a healthy life style.
