Description

Welcome to Mastering Higher-level Food Skills at KS4.

About this training

This course is designed to enhance your own food skills, so that when you are teaching Key Stage 4 food, you are imparting food skills with greater accuracy and precision. In addition, you will have identified those food skills (and recipes) which will help pupils achieve higher. (Always consult your Awarding Organisation.)

• This course has been created to provide training and support for those teaching food at Key Stage 4. Higher-level food skills are desired for practical work at GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition, Hospitality & Catering L1/2 and NCFE Food and Cookery.

• It comprises instructional cooking videos, demonstrating a series of higher-level food skills – which will help achieve higher marks.

• Recipes are provided, as well as presentations to support each ‘food’ area.

• Audit and planning tools as provided, as well as links to further information and videos.

Who provides the training?

The higher-level food skills are demonstrated by Simon Gray, Food Teachers Centre Senior Associate. He has over 30 years experience in craft and management within the Hospitality and Catering industry, and has been a food teacher. The course is also written by Roy Ballam, former British Nutrition Foundation (BNF) Managing Director and Head of Education, who has been involved in numerous education and curriculum development projects in the UK, Europe and around the world. Like Simon, he was also a secondary school food teacher.

Seek help from your school IT SUPPORT, as this shows that your school FIREWALL is blocking the site locally. You can test if your school is blocking your course by trying to access via:
- your home internet connection, or
- your phone using mobile data, not the school Wi-Fi
If it works outside the school network, the next step would be to ask your school IT team to allow access to Cademy, especially:
- cademy.io
- api.cademy.io
- *.cademy.io
