London schools ditch junk food
New figures show that half of London's boroughs are signed up to Food for Life's healthy eating scheme in their schools

New figures show that half of London's boroughs are serving health, ethical and environmentally sustainable meals to their schools' pupils.
Meal providers in these boroughs have proved that they meet the Food for Life Catering Mark's Bronze or Silver award, a benchmark for quality catering in schools.
To achieve these awards, caterers are expected to source ethical and environmentally sustainable food, champion local food producers and make it easier for pupils to eat healthily.

Schools enrolled with the Food for Life Partnership (FFLP) promote a whole-school approach, which aims to transform food culture and connect children with the environment and source of their food.
Schools are encouraged to grow their own food, teach pupils and parents to cook for themselves and visit a farm.

In Richmond, the local campaigning group School Food Matters worked to get schools signed up to the FFLP scheme and helped the council retender school meals to secure a Silver standard award, at the same time as making savings of up to 40p per meal.
