New guidelines will see deep-fried food banned from school dinners, while fibre, wholegrains, fresh fruit and vegetables will be given a boost. The Beacon School is helping children develop healthy eating habits from an early age, combining wholesome meals with practical food education 🍎

Children can't learn when they're hungry. Said me, a retired teacher.

As millions of kids lose SNAP food benefits, free school meals are also at risk
Food stamps have a direct link to other critical resources, such as free breakfast and lunch at school. Now, experts say they're starting to see that link break.

It was lovely to take a School Food APPG delegation to the Food Museum, Suffolk today with local MP Peter Prinsley. We visited the School Dinners exhibition, which I opened recently. A great chance to engage across the sector as free school meals expand to 500,000 kids and breakfast clubs roll out.

School dinners are changing: the strong emotions and memories around these meals reflect their social, economical and cultural importance
When people remember school dinners they remember how they made them feel as much as what they ate.
