Key Stage 3
A time allocation of three periods is given to cover Home Economics over the two-week timetable for all Key Stage 3 pupils.
This time slot is divided into a single period and a double period.
The double period is used for practical cookery as it gives pupils time to ‘cook from scratch’ developing weighing and measuring skills, food preparation and time management.
In the theory lesson pupils use work booklets which are differentiated to suit ability levels.
