Awards for schools

Pupils from Franche Community Primary learn about life on the farm

All schools in England can join the Food for Life Partnership.

We offer an action framework and award scheme to help schools and their communities transform their food culture.

Using practical food education, young people in your school will learn all about food - plus we help caterers to serve up fresh, local, organic and seasonal school meals.
