Home Economics is now well and truly established as a Key subject on the College curriculum.

Home Economics student at work.

Since the introduction of the subject the department has expanded rapidly with the opening of a ‘state of the art’ purpose designed 2-room Home Economics suite.

Within the department there is keen interest among the pupils and a distinct ‘buzz of excitement’ is evident. Pupils are encouraged to enter cookery competitions at both regional and national level - some very significant successes have resulted!

At Key Stage 3 Home Economics is a compulsory subject. The boys have the opportunity to study an introductory foundation course comprising three main strands;

● Family Life

● Diet and Health

● Choice and Management of Resources

As a result of the ongoing development and demand for the subject, Home Economics is also offered at Key Stage 4.

At this level students can choose to study a vocational City and Guild’s Certificate in Basic Cookery or a GCSE in Home Economics.
