At Lotus Academy, we aim for all pupils to leave school with the knowledge, confidence and practical skills needed to prepare healthy, nutritious meals safely and independently. Through Cooking, pupils develop an understanding of nutrition, food hygiene, food preparation and where food comes from, enabling them to make informed choices that support healthy lifestyles both now and in the future. Depending on their individual pathway, pupils will either develop the functional cooking skills needed for everyday life or achieve an accredited BTEC Home Cooking Skills qualification that supports progression into further education, employment or independent living.
