Progression webinar and presentation
A presentation on progression: learning intent, practical food skills and recipes - given Roy Ballam and Frances Meek (British Nutrition Foundation) and Louise Davies (Food Teachers Centre) on 6 October 2021.
Food skill progression and recipe complexity resources
The resources below form a package of support around planning practical food skill progression, enabling pupils to acquire, develop and secure practical food skills, along with knowledge over time. In principle:
- Pupils should acquire, develop and secure practical food skills over time, demonstrating greater accuracy and precision along with time management and dovetailing.
- Practical food skills are not always ‘stand-alone’, pupils will combine practical food skills to make recipes and dishes, e.g. a roux sauce (weigh/measure, stir, melt, simmer and boil).
- Pupils should always demonstrate good food hygiene and safety practices, e.g. getting ready to cook, being safe with sharp or hot equipment.
- Pupils should be given the opportunity to use a wide range of food groups through recipes and other practical activities.
- Pupils should apply their theory-based knowledge in a meaningful way through recipes and practical food activities.
