Headteacher Update Podcast: School food

In this episode we discuss how to deliver excellent and high-quality school food on a budget in your primary school.

We chat with two headteachers and the founder of the Chefs in Schools charity to explore ideas and options for how schools can deliver quality food experiences for pupils.

We ask how we can work with families to improve packed lunches and also discuss how we can raise money via our food growing and education initiatives.

We talk about what we can do to improve the take-up of free school meals, and we offer advice how we can deliver high-quality breakfast clubs that make a difference.

We discuss food education. What should we be teaching about food and how? What does a good food curriculum look like? And we consider the impact that high-quality school food can have for children and their attainment and wellbeing.
