What is the Rockmount Learning kitchen?

At Rockmount Primary School, we believe that learning to cook is a vital life skill. As a Food Flagship school, food is at the heart of our curriculum and our pupils already grow food in our Edible Playground. This project aims to raise funds to build our own learning kitchen so that we can extend teaching about food and cooking for our children and the local community.

How will a learning kitchen benefit the school?

A learning kitchen will increase the opportunities to:

• understand ingredients
• handle and prepare food
• understand food hygiene
• cook food
• use equipment safely
• enjoy food

Such a learning space will help the school teach more children and adults to cook, support families to eat good food, promote the reduction of childhood obesity and address mental health issues.

How much do we need to raise?

Our aim is to raise a grand total of:

£60,000 

Our story so far

£34,600
