The aim of Food is to instil a love of cooking and creating healthy, nutritious food. Learning how to cook is a crucial life skill that enables pupils to feed themselves and others affordably and well, now and in later life. This will also open doors to a wide range of future career opportunities.

This Food and Nutrition curriculum at Twickenham School aims to ensure that students are taught how to cook and apply the principles of nutrition and healthy eating in order to be able to maintain a healthy lifestyle now and in the future. It is studied by all students in Year 7 to 9. Students can choose to study the subject further in Year 10 and 11 as one of their GCSE options through GCSE Food.
