<p>All pupils should be taught to cook and to apply the principles of nutrition and
healthy eating. Design and Technology (D&T) is compulsory for all maintained schools
from key stages 1 to 3 and the new D&T curriculum, which will be in force from
September 2014, strengthens the requirements on schools to teach about food at primary
and secondary. At primary, the curriculum will ensure pupils are taught about healthy
eating, where food comes from and to prepare and cook a range of dishes. At secondary,
for the first time, cooking will be compulsory at key stage 3: teachers will be also
required to cover nutrition, diet and where food comes from.</p>
