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
Wellington had until recently been a dining centre having their meals bought in from another school. However through partnership working between the school and the catering team a full service is now provided on site.
There are now after school cookery clubs, wake up and shake up sessions before school, an adopt a ched scheme and skipping days. Michelle (Head of Kitchen) and her team have worked very hard with the school to develop and promote the service with excellent results they should be proud of.
The overall results have been amazing as this is the first time the school has been assessed. The school were awarded a well deserved Gold Award.
