Norwich schools help shape plan for better school food

15 Mar 2013

Teachers, parents and school cooks from across Norwich joined forces on Friday 15 March to help shape the future of school food in England. The latest school food event was hosted at Ormiston Victory Academy and teachers, school cooks and parents were invited to discuss the benefits of children eating healthily, share their experiences of school food and tell the school food planners Henry Dimbleby and John Vincent what they would like to improve.

Rachel de Souza, the Victory Principal, said:

We are passionate about ensuring our students enjoy a healthy diet and plenty of exercise.

We go the extra mile at Horatio’s café to make the freshest food available with the minimum of food miles while we involve students in menu selection to give them ownership. One of our most popular innovations are the special food days at Horatio’s – Chinese New Year, Australia Day, St George’s Day and so on. We educate our students about their world through food.
