Key Stage 3 - Home Economics
When we hear the term, ‘Home Economics’ most of us think about cooking and food. Home Economics is about much more than food however. Home Economics combines aspects of science, nutrition, cooking, parenting skills and finance. Students learn about the inter-relationships between diet, health, family, home and choice and the management of resources. Home Economics is at the core of the curriculum and makes up one of the strands of Learning for Life and Work. Therefore Home Economics is part of the minimum requirement for every pupil at Key Stage 3.
