Core competences for children and young people aged 5 to 16 years

The updated Core Competences for children and young people aged 5-16 years help to unpack the curriculum, enabling teachers to plan appropriate lessons for the age and ability of the pupils they teach. They help to set out progression for food education, acting as a food and nutrition curriculum for all children and young people throughout the UK. 

The framework covers diet (food and drink), consumer awareness (food origins, food choice and food labelling), cooking, food safety and active lifestyles. [ BNF ]
