Sessions can be tailored to suit your requirements. Topics covered can include:

- Kitchen safety, including knives and hot surfaces
- Maintaining high standards of food hygiene
- Adapting content to suit different ages
- Recipe ideas
How much will the sessions cost?
Sessions are charged at £2.50 per head. They are exclusively available to Food For Thought member schools.
Will I need to provide anything?
All ingredients, equipment and resources required will be provided by the Cookery Coach.
Nutrition Mission
Curriculum-linked food and nutrition lessons for primary schools.
Nutrition Mission is a brand-new scheme of work developed by a qualified nutritionist.
This flexible, teacher-friendly scheme supports KS1 and KS2 pupils to explore healthy eating, sustainability, and food literacy through fun, interactive lessons that link directly to the national curriculum.
Each lesson includes:
- Clear learning outcomes
- Engaging, editable presentations
- Teacher guidance and resources
- Practical and discussion-based activities
Pupils explore:
- The Eatwell Guide and balanced meals
- Where food comes from
- Cooking skills and kitchen confidence
- Packaging, food waste and sustainability
- Healthy swaps and responsible food choices
Teach it across a term or use sessions as standalone lessons — it’s entirely flexible. We’re piloting the scheme in 2025/26 and would love your feedback.
