4th Annual
Healthy Eating in Schools 08

Increasing Take-up of Quality Food

Wednesday 29th October 2008
Inmarsat Conference Centre, London EC1

“Over three million children are eating school dinners – a rise of 50,000 on last year. We've turned a corner in primary schools and the steep fall last year in secondary schools has been halted…But we know there is still a huge job ahead ” Rt Hon Ed Balls MP

The new minimum nutritional standards for school food come into force for primary schools this September and for secondary schools in September 2009.

The government has announced £650m ring-fenced funding for school lunches by 2011 to subsidise healthy ingredients and invest in training and in improving kitchens.

The recent School Food Trust/ LACA survey has showed the first rise in the number of primary school children eating school meals since healthier meals were introduced.

In the face of challenges of rising food costs, this unique conference, now in its fourth year, will provide practical insights into achieving the new standards and increasing take-up of school meals by effectively engaging parents, reaching BME children and families and developing a whole school approach to provision and learning.
