Why Teach Food

Being a Food Teacher is about having the opportunity to teach an exciting, creative and motivating subject that you love. You can engage young people in learning about food, cooking, where food comes and nutrition, developing important skills to help them prepare for their future.

You can inspire a generation of young people to embrace healthier and more sustainable lifestyles.

  • Every day will be different – different classes, year groups, abilities, attitudes, and experiences.
  • There will be challenges and opportunities to learn more about yourself, your pupils, and the subject.
  • You’ll get the rewarding opportunity to pass on your expertise, give back to your community and be a role model, motivating changes in behaviour around food.
  • You could play a vital role in raising awareness of the importance that food plays in young people’s health, wellbeing, and attainment.

Every young person deserves to have a confident and exceptional Food Teacher in their school.
