What backs it

Landscore Primary School in Devon has adopted a healthy eating regime with help from Chefs in School, switching from an external catering firm to home-cooked meals made from fresh, seasonal ingredients for 96p per child per day. The school recruited a chef educator and now serves items like homemade bread and salads that pupils actively enjoy.

Worth noting

The school's model relies on partnership with Chefs in School and new staffing; government-wide school food standards requiring similar nutritional improvements are due in 2027.
