Food Curriculum Academy

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.

Four stages. One curriculum. Choose where you begin

Frequently Asked Questions

Which course should I start with?

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.

Are these live classes or self-paced?

Self-paced. You and your child work through the lessons whenever it suits — a Saturday morning, a homeschool block, a quiet evening.

Do I need fancy equipment?

No. Every programme is designed around standard kitchen tools you probably already have. We will flag anything specific in advance.

Can I buy one course and upgrade later?

Absolutely. If you start with Little Chef and want to add Junior Chef later, you will only pay the difference. Email hello@foodandnutrition.academy and we will sort it.

Is my child safe using knives, the hob, or the oven during these recipes?

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.
