Creating an environment conducive to the enjoyment of safe, tasty,
nutritious and environmentally sustainable food
Key questions
- What is the on-site food provision? (list it). Does it need
to change?
- How do the services provided meet the religious, ethnic, vegetarian,
medical and allergenic needs of pupils and staff?
- Do we need a staff training programme for teachers and food
service staff on basic nutrition, nutrition education and the
benefits of organic and sustainable agriculture?

and analysis for school meals? If so, what software, training
and support do we need?
Environment
- Dining area - is it safe, pleasant, comfortable, attractive
and clean?
- Are their sufficient dinning room supervisors? Are they trained
to provide advice on food choices / hygiene?
- Dining arrangements? Family or cafeteria?
- How can we ensure pupils have sufficient time to eat?
- How do we foster good manners and respect for fellow students?
- Are facilities for washing hands adequate?
