Meet the Team:

Gemma Smeaton - Food technology teacher

Hi, my name is Gemma and I teach Catering. I am passionate about all aspects of cooking, especially trying new recipes by different chefs like Ottolenghi who specialises in Lebanese food. I studied A Level Food Technology and have taught KS3 and 4 for 2 Years. Catering is a life skill and so important for keeping yourself healthy. I have high expectations of students to be conscious of hygiene in the kitchen and to not be afraid of experimentation. Catering is a fantastic subject that will set students up for the future. 

Bilal Mahomed - Food technology teacher

Food and catering is an important part of all of our lives, it brings families together and it promotes happiness! I have developed my understanding of catering and hospitality since starting here at Keyham Lodge. My main interest in food technology is educating students on the benefits of nutrition and how we can lead a healthy lifestyle by consuming highly nutritious foods instead of processed food that are high in sugar and salt. I am proud to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to continue onto higher level catering courses.
