Education Show special: Healthy Eating in Schools: A handbook of practical case studies
Edited by Dr Verner Wheelock. Paperback £8.99
Published:  01 February, 2007

Following the introduction of the Government’s nutritional guidelines for school food in September 2006, many head teachers, parents, governors, and catering managers may be wondering:

• How do we provide healthy food for our children?

• How do we persuade the children to eat it?

• Where do we buy good quality food and ingredients?

• How will our catering staff have time to prepare meals from scratch?

• How do we ban junk food from our school?

This invaluable handbook of case studies aims to provide answers to these and many more questions, and to inspire you to implement your own Healthy Eating policies.

Examples from the book include:

• An introduction to food allergies;

• St Aidan’s C of E High School in Harrogate which now has a ‘restaurant’, serving 1,700 meals a day;

• Case studies from breakfast clubs in several primary schools;

• Involving the School Council in healthy eating decisions-making.

Many schools know that they need to improve their food provision but just don’t know where to start. This book is the ideal starting point, and offers useful ideas to help you to avoid the pitfalls of introducing healthier menus to your pupils.
