In the Food and Nutrition Department we teach pupils to be curious and active within every lesson. We believe that Food and Nutrition lessons set a grounding for life and develop essential life skills, which pupils will use each and every day throughout their whole lives.

We have high aspirations for our pupils and provide them a knowledge and skill rich curriculum. Pupils will learn through a range of practical and theory lessons. Through these lessons, we aim to provide all pupils with exciting lessons which stimulate their creative thinking. Pupils at Holy Trinity thoroughly enjoy all Food and Nutrition lessons and exam results are consistently high.

We aim for all pupils, regardless of ability, to be successful and independent cooks who have the ability to cook nutritious family meals within a set budget.  They can work safely and hygienically and work well within a team environment.
