Overview
We are seeking to commission a sustainable health and education programme which helps transform school meals and food education in schools and their communities. The aim is to give school pupils and their families the confidence, skills and knowledge they need to cook, grow and enjoy good quality, affordable food, as well as increasing their understanding of where their food comes from.
The programme should use food as a way to engage the community and improve the whole school experience, making lunchtimes a positive feature of the day and enriching classroom learning with farm visits and practical cooking and growing. Ultimately the aim of the programme is to give schools the tools they need to make long term changes to their food culture and their curriculum to support healthy behaviours.
The programme will be available to every school in Leicestershire, but with the main focus on primary and Special (SEN) schools. The Programme will work in partnership with the County Council and Public Health team to deliver this programme as part of the Leicestershire Healthy Schools Programme.
