Celebrate & Review Your School’s Food Provision

Let SIL's Health & Wellbeing team help you develop your food provision and ensure it aligns with updated School Food Standards Guidance (February 2025).

The process supports you to celebrate what’s working well. It also highlights areas for reflection - helping you design and deliver nutritious, appealing meals for all children and young people in your school or setting.
 

What’s Included?

• Pre-visit questionnaire to gather key details, including breakfast club provision, meal pricing, and sample menus.
• On-site visit by a food and nutrition advisor during lunchtime (usually 1.5–2 hours). 
• Assessment of compliance with School Food Standards.
• Review of kitchen/dining room, including food served and pupil engagement.
• Written report with findings and recommendations, ideal for sharing with Governors.
• Suggestions for follow-up support to help you take the next steps.

What do the School Food Standards say?

Eating in school should be a pleasurable experience. The standards are designed to help children develop healthy eating habits and ensure they have the energy and nutrition needed to thrive throughout the school day.

Meals should be visually appealing, taste great, and be served in a welcoming environment where pupils can enjoy eating with friends.

Schools are encouraged to use fresh, sustainable, and locally sourced ingredients and staff should actively engage pupils in conversations about food, helping them make informed and healthy choices.

The standards also promote variety across the week and support the reduction of salt, saturated fat, and sugar in children's diets.
