Improving School Food
The Parliamentary Information Office of the Parliamentary Yearbook has been
monitoring progress in Government policy relating to healthy eating in schools since
Jamie Oliver’s ground breaking campaign to improve school food in 2005.
This will
form part of a major feature on healthy living in the next edition
In the seven years since Jamie Oliver began his campaign to improve school food, there has
been a measurable improvement in the number of children taking up school meals and the
nutritional quality of the food they are eating.
This is the result of work done by a large array
of people, including the School Food Trust, associated charities such as School Food
Matters and Jamie Oliver’s Foundation – not to mention the individual cooks, teachers,
parents, pupils, outside caterers and local authorities who have embraced the cause.
There is, however, still much to do.
A recent report for the School Food Trust indicated that
quality varies across the country.
