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 inspectors assessment forms couldn't cope with the level of activities that the school were doing. They obtained maximum marks and were one of the few schools to do so. Some of their activities included - Breakfast clubs, posh nosh table, daily bread making for pupils, themed days, container gardening, farm and supermarket visits.
A Bronze award was achieved in 2004 and 2006 and with Yvonne's cooking and presentation skills along with the schools commitment they obtained a Gold Award.
