Cookery

At Parkfield, children learn how to create over 20 recipes and as part of this work with food, they are taught how to cook and apply the principles of nutrition and healthy eating. At Parkfield we want to instil a a love of cooking in pupils and hope to open the door to one of the great expressions of human creativity. We believe that learning how to cook is a crucial life skill that enables pupils to feed themselves and others affordably and well, now and in later life.
