The Food and Nutrition Academy

The complete food and nutrition education platform

The Food and Nutrition Academy is a new food education platform for families, schools, and teachers, offering practical cooking courses, curriculum resources, and professional development, built on genuine community and standards that do not compromise.

Kids Cooking Academy — Practical cooking courses that build genuine skill and independence in the kitchen, for children and families learning together at home.

Food Curriculum Academy — Full curriculum resources for secondary food and nutrition departments, from Year 7 through GCSE, built by a working teacher for the classroom, not around it.

Food Teachers Academy — Professional development resources for the teachers delivering food education every day, built for real classroom use, not shelved CPD.

Cook. Learn. Teach.

A Joined-Up Approach to Food Education

Food education requires a joined-up approach across the home, the classroom, and the teaching profession. Building practical skills and independence at home starts with Kids Cooking Academy. Resourcing your department's curriculum starts with Food Curriculum Academy. Developing your own practice as an educator starts with Food Teachers Academy.
