    • Don’t leave revision too late – if you haven’t already done so, start NOW!  
    • Make a revision timetable.  You have three topics to revise.  
    • Make up your own revision notes: facts, mind maps, etc.  
    • Make a note of things you have difficulty with and attend Thursday lunchtime study support.
    • Try past exam questions on the topic you are studying.  Check the answers and get help if you need it.  
    • Text books: N4/5 Hospitality course notes – copies available for you to use in the HE department.  
    • Learn culinary terms. Use student glossary sheet and class notes to help.  
    • Practise short answers, time plans, costing exercises and timed questions.  
    • Practise your cookery skills as much as possible at home. e.g. chop, peel, cut matchsticks/batons, segment, blanche, puree, pipe.
    • Practise cookery processes e.g. baking, stir frying, steaming, poaching, and grilling. This will help students speed, accuracy, timing and confidence when it comes to the practical activity.  
    • Recipes are available from HE department which students are welcome to use and if necessary borrow specialist equipment e.g. flan rings, piping bags to practise. 

  • What can Parents/Carers do to help?

    Encourage your child to practice their practical skills at home.  


    Time your child while they are carrying out practical activities and give them 1hr 30 minutes to make two courses and 2hrs and 30 minutes to make three courses. 


    Encourage your child to attend lunchtime study support class 1.15pm – 1.50pm every Thursday.
