Training & Events

As part of our programme, engaged schools will be offered a range of training courses to help support food-related activities in schools. These include sessions on cooking, growing, farming and sensory education, as well as topics such as improving the dining experience, working with cooks & caterers, and implementing a whole-school approach to food and nutrition.

We also hold Parent Workshops and webinars on key themes including Healthy Packed Lunches, Cooking on a Budget, and Healthy Drinks.
