The ‘Food for Life’ scheme recognises the fantastic work that schools and school caterers do to provide healthy school meals, great lunchtimes, and food education.

Wednesday’s special lunch included options of Red Tractor roast sliced British beef or vegetarian sausage toad in the hole, both served with delicious gravy, roast potatoes, and seasonal vegetables.

The UK Foodhall Ltd supplied Educaterers with the roast beef, which was a slice of prime silverside from Scotland, fully assured for British provenance by the Red Tractor scheme. The company specialise in school catering and supply ingredients to over 18,000 schools in the UK.   

Educaterers hold the ‘Food for Life Served Here’ Silver Catering Mark in recognition of the fact that their school catering teams serve local, fresh food made with quality ingredients, prepared and served in a way that takes school pupils’ health and well-being seriously.

It also holds the Gold Catering Mark with Brownsover Community School in Rugby, Warwickshire, for going the extra mile to provide healthy school meals and give pupils a great lunchtime experience.

This week is also National School Meals Week, which has been running for 30 years and is organised by LACA, The School Food People, to promote the importance and benefits of choosing a nutritious school lunch at mealtime.
