school dinners

For the past couple of years I’ve been campaigning to ban the junk in schools and get kids eating fresh, tasty nutritious food instead. I can’t do it without your help though – so start a revolution in your school and help us prove that school meals can be better.

It’s all about making radical changes to the school meals system and challenging the junk food culture by showing schools they can serve fresh nutritious meals that kids enjoy eating.

What we eat affects everything: our mood, behaviour, health, growth, even our ability to concentrate. A lunchtime school meal should provide a growing child with one third of their daily nutritional intake.

school standards

The new school food standards mean that from this autumn, things have to change in all schools, and quite quickly too! Have a look at the School Food Trust website for a summary. You can download each new standard as well. It’s really important that schools and dinner ladies get loads of support while these changes are taking place.
