The complete food and nutrition platform for every school
Food Curriculum Academy gives you a complete, ready-to-teach food curriculum — schemes of learning, videos, lesson slides, practical recipes, and assessments — sequenced from Year 7 food and nutrition basics (ages 11–12) to GCSE-level skills and knowledge (ages 14–16). Whether you are teaching a full class, guiding your own child at home, or learning independently, every stage builds on the one before it.

These five values shape every course, every recipe, and every lesson we teach
Excellence in food knowledge and practical skills
Discovering strengths, unlocking potential
Capable, responsible individuals
Confidence through hard work, and resilience
Collaboration across families, schools, and educators
Pick by age. If your child is 4 to 10, start with Little Chef. 11 to 16, Junior Chef. If you want to cook together as a whole family, Family Chef is built for that. Not sure? Try the free 5-Day Kickstarter Challenge first and see how your child takes to it.
Self-paced. You and your child work through the lessons whenever it suits — a Saturday morning, a homeschool block, a quiet evening.
Every recipe includes clear, age-appropriate safety guidance for knife handling, hob use, and oven use, built into the Skill Sheet for that module. Little Chefs is designed for a parent or guardian to work alongside your child throughout; Junior Chefs and Family Chef introduce more independent technique as skill and confidence grow. Real kitchen skills come with real tools — we do not use pretend or toy equipment — but every step is matched to the age band it is written for.
