Important Notice – A free Food for Life health check for your school

How are you progressing with your school’s submission for a Food for Life Award?

Many schools have made significant progress but are yet to enter their evidence on the Food for Life website.  During this term, schools enter their evidence for their awards and all awarded schools are presented their certificates and prizes at a special awards ceremony. This also includes a celebratory meal and activities for the school representatives, as well as lots of positive press coverage for each school.  

It is worth noting that a Food for Life Award is recognised as evidence by Ofsted of a school’s commitment to high standards in promoting the health and wellbeing of the children in its care.

This year we will have our first Gold Award school in the county!

Now is the time to carry out a health check of the progress you have made to date while using the programme to raise educational attainment, helping children and families to learn key life skills, improving the quality of food, improving the dining experience at the school itself and encouraging healthy lifestyles for young people.  

We are offering our professional advice and assistance to:

  • help identify your progress to date;
  • support the delivery of the criteria to achieve your school’s award;
  • help you complete your online submission of evidence for an award.

Please contact Bret Willers on 07786 994442 or by email: bwillers@soilassociation.org

If you haven't had a response to your submission within one working week please let us know. You can contact us via phone: 0117 314 5180 or email ffl@foodforlife.org.uk.
