HRH Prince of Wales at the awards

Six primary schools have recognised at the first-ever Food for Life Partnership Awards, held in London this week.

The awards were presented by HRH Prince of Wales and backed by the Soil Association.

Jeanette Orrey, Food for Life Partnership school meals advisor and the school cook who inspired TV chef Jamie Oliver’s school dinners campaign, said: “We campaigned for better school dinners, but it is not just about school meals anymore, it’s also about practical food education like learning to cook, growing food and visiting farms to learn where food actually comes from.

"We are celebrating six schools achieving the Food for Life Partnership Silver Award and 20 schools achieving the Food for Life Partnership Bronze Award, which is absolutely fantastic.”
