Home Economics

At Clounagh the three key concepts taught in Home Economics are Healthy Eating, Home and Family Life, and Independent Living. These concepts provide a framework for pupils to learn about healthy diets, the importance of family, and how to manage resources effectively as consumers and members of society. 

​

Each year is divided into a series of units which are designed to be enjoyable, challenging, engaging and relevant for our young people.  A wide range of practical cookery is built into each unit of work so that pupils can develop important skills such as thinking for themselves, cooking skills, working with others, and using equipment. Cookery lessons are enjoyed greatly by pupils and are wonderful opportunities for them to develop healthy attitudes to food while learning lifelong skills. 

​

Home Economics at Key Stage 3 is part of Learning for Life and Work. Throughout their time at Clounagh, pupils have opportunities to learn about three key concepts:

​ 

• Healthy eating

• Home and family life and 

• Independent living.
