After 55 years, Green has dedicated her life to Beacon Primary School. At the heart of all of it all has been her love for food, and her belief in its power to ‘transform’ lives. Chef Scarlett has ‘transformed’ the Henry Cavendish School’s food environment.
This year’s School Food Leader isn’t a headteacher or governor – it’s a group of ten and 11-year-olds who are doing 'incredible' things. Randle has taken her role of food teacher to the next level – not only sharing her much-needed brilliant skills with her students, but also with the wider community too.
At St John the Baptist Primary School headteacher Robinson has made sure good food and activity are at the heart of everything they do. Chef Moody and the team at Park Community Secondary are a ‘shining’ example of how powerful food can be in creating 'incredible' connections and bringing people together.
