Catch the bus

To apply for the Cooking Bus, you will need to complete the registration form. You will then receive a pack asking for more information about your school and the way food is taught there.

You will need to indicate areas of the curriculum in which you need support because all the activities on the Cooking Bus are planned with the bus's advisory teacher. The advisory teacher establishes a partnership with the school in the months before the visit. During that time the focus of each workshop, its duration, the practical content and the links with the curriculum are planned for each group of pupils.

Whatever the curriculum support asked for, all workshops contain the themes of safe food handling skills, personal safety, knowledge of ingredients and nutrition. These relate to specific programmes of study within the curriculum in design and technology, science, history and geography.

Priority is given to schools in low income areas for the Agency's Cooking Bus. But by filling in the form you will register with Focus on Food, which runs other Cooking Buses and so you will also be eligible for a visit from another bus.

If you have any problems filling in the form, you can register by telephone by calling 01422 383191.
