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.
The Inspecting Team noted how lovely the food was that was being prepared that was being offered to the pupils in the school. A recent QA inspections also confirms the quality of the service.
It is vital for schools to take an active role in healthy eating to attain the highest levell of award. The school still has some way to go in this area but we were still delighted to award Culloden Primary School a Bronze award.
