Nursery World - Website to help schools improve food culture

A dedicated website for teachers to share ideas and practical tips
on how to create a 'great school food culture' has been launched by the
School Food Plan project.

The What Works Well website is one of a number of measures introduced under the School Food Plan, a plan of action commissioned by the Government to improve the quality and take-up of school meals.

Drawn up by Leon restaurant chain founders Henry Dimbleby and John Vincent, the plan was published by the Department for Education last year.

The What Works Well website was launched last week ahead of the implementation of universal free school meals (FSM) to Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 pupils in September, a recommendation within the School Food Plan that received Government backing.

Developed with support from the Caterlink Foundation, which provides catering for hundreds of early years settings and schools, the website covers five areas - 'The food', 'The lunchtime experience', 'Learning about food', 'Making it happen' and 'Getting everyone involved.'
