School’s out and the summer holidays are here! But for school caterers September is just around the corner and the start of the Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM).
On the 17th June the Government announced the new school food standards following the recommendations of The School Food Plan.
Their aim is that “Eating in school should be a pleasurable experience: time spent sharing good food with peers and teachers. These school food standards are intended to help children develop healthy eating habits and ensure that they get the energy and nutrition they need across the whole school day.”
These standards will be compulsory in all maintained schools, new academies and free schools from January 2015.
