    Year 11 transition work:  

    Below are some activities and extended learning tasks you can complete to prepare you for your FE studies.

    Maths

    Food Technology

    Another course which is FREE provided by the Food Standards Agency for Food Allergies is -

    https://allergytraining.food.gov.uk/

    This is ideal for anyone wanting a food related part-time job but also anyone wanting to work in health related jobs or care e.g. nursery nursing, care homes, special needs 

    It has 6 modules which you can take separately or in one go, and again it has interactive activities. When you have completed the tasks you take the test and can print off a certificate 

    Finally, if students want to improve their cooking skills so that they can impress others, develop independence for when they leave home, as well as treat family and friends I would recommend BBC Food and Good Food websites as their recipes are tried and tested. BBC also have clips showing specific cooking techniques:
