The School Nutrition Award for Tower Hamlets is now entering its 6th 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.
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, grow your own garden, water provision, organised within the school.
The Conclusion
The secondary school meals provision is a particular challenge for any caterer at the present time. However Val (Head of Kitchen) and her team have managed to maintain their numbers in a declining market through excellent meals being served consistently.
The school also takes the service seriously and recognises the value of the school meals service as a healthy diet provides mproving performance and concentration.
In 2004 the school received a Silver Award which was improved to a Gold Award in 2006. This year the school managed to hold onto their Gold Award by obtaining it again in 2008.
