Summary:

In a rural setting in West Sussex, Oathall Community College brings a new meaning to the often-used phrase locally produced food - it has a farm on the premises. This offers unique opportunities across the whole curriculum, but most obviously in cooking, where head of department Margaret Cooper helps students create a stir-fry with pork from a pig they may have passed on the way to class. Howard Wood who runs the farm says, What I m trying to bring back is that direct link between growing something and cooking or eating it . The students make a range of meals from fresh tomato soup to a pork stroganoff and the value of their newly-acquired skills are summed up by one of them - Because of what I'm learning here I can sometimes make a meal for my family at home.
