Food
education has become a national priority, the aim of the Food
in Schools programme is to develop food and nutrition education within
our schools.
Food in Schools
Accredited Trainers work closely with the National Healthy Schools
Standard and Healthy Schools Co-ordinators, delivering vital training
to primary schools. Many secondary schools have outreach programmes
with their local primary schools of which this is seen to be a
part.
How does
the programme work?
Usually a qualified and experienced secondary food teacher is nominated
to become a trainer. Their school makes a commitment to the programme
ensuring that the trainer has sufficient release time and support.
They attend a DCSF funded course to become a trainer full training
is given on how to plan and deliver an effective course for primary
teachers.
A food
teacher arranges training a minimum fo 10 local primary schools and
support is provided to plan the training. The food teacher supports
the local primary schools after the training. The training plans
and training are monitored and Accredited Trainer status is given.
