Welcome!

Hi,

I’m James Deveney, the founder of Classroom Kitchen! Prior to starting this service for schools, I was a primary school teacher and DT Leader. Whilst teaching, I found that, although a part of the National Curriculum, schools were struggling to deliver Cooking and Nutrition lessons for their pupils – for multiple reasons.

I know, as teachers, we’re expected to know everything but it’s just not possible! That’s why I created Classroom Kitchen, to help schools deliver a subject they’re expected to be able to, but realistically it may just not be possible.

I found 3 main reasons why schools may struggle with the delivery of cooking and nutrition… staff subject knowledge, equipment and time within the curriculum. I considered these and created the foundations of the company! Every part of the company is there to help schools to get cooking and learning about nutrition with ease, flair and confidence…we do that by solving those problems!

”The purpose of this service is... to get children cooking! We've a range of products and services to help schools find what they need to get cooking and learning about nutrition! With such variety and range of solutions, we really are a company for all to consider.

What Our Teachers Say

“
Mrs MillerPrimary School Teacher
“James and his classroom kitchen came into my Year 3 class and it was fantastic!! James linked the morning brilliantly to our topic ‘The Victorians’... James was so well equipped, the school didn’t need to provide anything at all. I’m looking forward to James visiting us again. I cannot recommend The Classroom Kitchen enough.”
