Kidz in the Kitchen

A free, practical programme for primary school children in Year 5

Kidz in the Kitchen is designed to help children improve practical kitchen skills, as well as confidence with ingredients, via classroom and at-home learning.

At school

The classroom-based element of Kidz in the Kitchen consists of 6 practical cooking sessions over a 12-month period, with one session, each half term.

At home

At the end of each term, children will receive an activity box for at-home learning that includes

  • a recipe card to try making at home
  • ingredients to use (or a voucher to purchase them, where needed)
  • information around a particular food topic (sugars, label reading, etc),
  • fun activities to help educate children (and the family!) on healthy eating and diet

Spaces on the programme are limited to 10 children per school.
