The School Nutrition Award for Tower Hamlets is now entering its fourth year. It was developed by Children's Services Contract Services (the in-house school meal providers of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Council) and the Community Dietitian (part of Bart’s and the London NHS Trust Nutrition and Dietetics Department). The award has been gaining increasing recognition within the primary and secondary schools in Tower Hamlets since it was started as well as a feature in a national association journal.
The award recognises the ‘whole school approach’ to food and nutrition issues within the local schools, providing recognition to the individual school catering service and nutrition-related activities e.g. breakfast clubs, tuck shops, water provision, organised within the school.
Bonner is one of the newest kitchens in the Borough. Cordelia has been there since it opened and the school now refuse to let Cordelia leave.
Nearly all the school staff eat in the hall with the children, which is always a good indicator of the quality of food being provided.
The inspection team found the highest quality of provision in nearly all the areas on the criteria and it was no surprise that Bonner Primary School won the Gold award.
