A complete KS4 Hospitality and Catering resource focused on later adulthood (65+), nutritional needs and NEA-style dish analysis.

Students build from nutrient recall to increasingly independent application. The resource includes:

nutrient-function starter
later adulthood nutritional needs
key micronutrients and food sources
dish analysis
improving a dish for an older adult
comparing two dishes and making a judgement
considering appetite, texture, hydration, fat and salt
applying a customer brief
scaffolded final NEA-style assessment
model answers and teacher guidance

The activities develop students’ ability to identify, explain, analyse, adapt, justify and assess dishes for an older customer.

Suitable for WJEC Level 1/2 Hospitality and Catering Unit 2 and useful for NEA preparation, revision, cover or independent work.

Includes printable worksheets, answer material and differentiated sentence scaffolds.

AI-assisted images have been used to create original classroom visuals rather than relying on copyrighted third-party images.
The resource has been used and tested with real KS4 students in the classroom and refined for clarity, accessibility and practical lesson use.
