Over the last few years we have seen increasing numbers of inspiring stories about school food; stories of amazing cooks, headteachers and teachers working in unison to put food at the heart of their school.
Events like National School Meals Week and Roast Dinner Day attracted a mass of national and local media, celebrating the health, attainment and local economic benefits of good school food.
And the national debate going on about childhood obesity has also put a sharp focus on the role for our schools – not only ensuring that our nation’s children eat healthily, but that they can learn about food in a way that will also support their healthy adult lives.
