Vision
Our vision ‘Life in all its fullness’ is taken from the book of John and these words were spoken by Jesus. At St Aidan's, every pupil is valued and has a rightful place within our community. We recognise that every individual is unique and has different skills, talents and abilities. We are committed to ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to thrive in their own distinctive way. Our aim is to ensure that all members of our school community achieve their full God given potential academically, socially, personally and spiritually. This is what Jesus wanted: for us to live life to the full.

Curriculum Overview
Food Technology Vision
Food Technology is an essential subject for any student, this life skill offers pupils an understanding of personal hygiene and a knowledge of different beliefs and cultures surrounding foods. Students will be exposed to contemporary issues around food and a working knowledge of nutrition and how it contributes to a person’s health and wellbeing. Students are inspired and challenged to imagine and create a range of dishes by being exposed to a variety of cultural and celebratory dishes.
Students will develop their culinary skills and their critical thinking skills to develop their own recipes and menus for varied audiences. Food Technology develops student’s literacy, numeracy, communication and emotional literacy skills as students embark on team work in a kitchen. These skills are key to further education, in working life and living, fulfilling and healthy lifestyles.
