Food in Schools Programme

The Department of Health and the Department for Education and Skills created this Food in Schools programme to help schools implement a whole school approach to food education and healthy eating.

The website provides valuable guidance and resources for anyone working in or with a school on food related activities throughout the school day, including teachers, parents, school governors, head teachers, pupils and health professionals. There is information on a broad range of activities from guidance on how to set up a school food partnership or a healthier breakfast club to details of local Healthy School's support networks.

Further resources can also be found at the Public Health England School Zone - healthy eating.
