I think everything that I would cover at KS3 is in there ... From my perspective - short lessons on rotation - this perfectly supports progression. It gives a snapshot of every area that will be covered at KS4 and so it actively promotes the GCSE ... This supports my teaching and would enable cover lessons and homework to be carried out in a far more structured way. -- Liz MacRae, Head of Food and Nutrition Studies, Bethany School, Kent

 

It links to the aspects that now need to be taught due to having to change things for the new GCSE. It is also a more updated publication from the books we currently use which are based on food technology. The emphasis on science and functions of ingredients are more relevant and are at a level which is more suitable for Key Stage 3. -- Head of Food Technology Department at a school in Reading

 

The layout of this book is easy to read and very eye-catching to engage pupils. The content covered is in line with the GCSE curriculum and provides a good level of depth for most pupils in KS3. I am delighted with the book and can see it being very useful for preparing pupils for KS4. I also feel that it will be very useful for lower ability pupils in year 10 and 11. * Mrs Jane Milne *
