Cooking
At London Fields, all pupils have cooking lessons in our purpose-built pupils' kitchen. Learning to cook is a crucial life skill that enables pupils to feed themselves and others affordably and well, now and later in life. We believe that instilling a love of cooking in pupils will also open a door to one of the great expressions of human creativity.
During the pupils' cooking lessons, pupils develop their understanding of seasonality, where ingredients come from and the basic principles of a healthy and varied diet. Strong curriculum links are made between the carefully planned cooking lessons and knowledge learnt in subjects such as Design and Technology, Science, Maths and PSHE. Cooking lessons are a great way for pupils to become more fluent in their procedural knowledge learnt in other subject areas.
