Y10 GCSE Food & Nutrition Letter

Dear Parent/Carer

Y10 GCSE Food and Nutrition

I am writing to you because your child has chosen Food and Nutrition as one of their GCSE subjects. As part of the food specification they will be cooking most weeks. It is an expectation that they bring in the ingredients for all the practical lessons. We try and keep the cost down by making smaller portions and using ingredients that aren’t too costly.

As well as bringing in the ingredients for the lesson pupils are expected to bring in a container to take home their finished recipes. We are seeing an increasing number of pupils forgetting to bring in a container, this means some finished recipes go to waste because we don’t have containers for pupils to take their food home in at Academy.

Could you ensure that your child checks that they have a container when they pack their food ingredients for their practical lessons in future so that precious food doesn’t go to waste.

If you have any questions about this, please contact me via email using [email protected].

Thanks for your support on this matter.

Yours sincerely

Mrs D Rhodes

Subject Leader for Design and Technology
