APPG launches 2024/25 Excellence in School Food Awards

The awards provide an opportunity for those working within the school food sector to get some ‘much-deserved’ recognition for their hard work.

The three categories for this year's awards are: 

• Groups: An organisation, charity or catering team who have used the initiative to serve healthy food to children; an organisation, charity or catering team who have been able to work together to achieve positive outcomes on local communities and children.
• Individuals: An individual who has shown individual commitment; someone whose ideas and innovation have changed things for the better; someone who has had a significant impact on local communities and children.
• Schools: Either an in-house catering team, head teacher, teacher(s) or support staff – who have come up with a creative initiative to serve healthy food to children within the school setting.
