Soil Association's School Food Awards
Soil Association's School Food Awards
Jamie Oliver the celebrity TV chef who has taken an active position in improving school meals presented the Soil Association's School Food Awards at the BBC Good Food Show on Thursday 24 November.
Primary schools across the country, from Newton Abbot to Inverness, submitted entries for the awards, supported by Highland Spring and The Times health supplement Body & Soul.
The Soil Association School Food Awards aimed to highlight the importance of providing healthy school meals and a better education on good food and healthy eating.
Since January 2003, the Soil Association has been working to raise the quality of school meals and has been providing schools around the country with a practical blueprint for doing so. The ground-breaking report, Food for Life, exposed a shameful underinvestment in school dinners and played a key role in prompting Jamie Oliver to tackle the issue of school food through his high-profile TV series “Jamie's School Dinners”.
