We're celebrating receiving the Foundation Food Award!
SWS has achieved the prestigious Foundation Food Award from the Food for Life initiative. This nationally-recognised framework celebrates their commitment to providing high quality food education and promoting sustainable practices within the school community.
The hard work of our Food Department, working alongside the Catering Manager has made this achievement possible. With a focus on integrating food education into lessons and whole-school events, our students have enriched their understanding of nutrition and healthy eating.
Community initiatives have helped to emphasize the importance of community in our food journey as follows:
- Activities that involve parents in school cooking experiences
- Charity bake sales
- Regular cooking for local homeless and vulnerable people charities .
Efforts to ensure the sustainability of ingredients and offer diverse options in school meals also reflect our dedication to creating a positive food culture.
‘This award is a significant milestone, especially considering it is typically achieved by only a select few secondary schools. We encourage other schools within our trust to consider applying for this award as well. Our Food Department is more than happy to share insights and assist with the application process.'
Sara Randle, Curriculum Leader for Food
