• Use food tech as a tool to develop students' independence, confidence, and teamwork skills.

• Work closely with teaching assistants, pastoral staff, and external agencies to support each student's personal and academic development.

• Ensure a safe, well-managed classroom environment, particularly in relation to health & safety procedures within a food technology room.
