Day 1 of National School Meals Week has been a great success!
Day 1 of National School Meals Week has been a great success! The children at our schools across Barking and Dagenham loved our Power Lunch menu and learning about healthy eating through our Eat and Learn initiative. Today we learned all about rutabaga, which is similar to swede and can be mashed with milk and butter as a tasty side dish or a topping on a pie.
National School Meals Week is important initiative organised by LACA - The School Food People. The theme of this year’s NSMW is ‘The School Tucker Trial’ with the aim to get children back to eating and enjoying hot school lunches.
As part of #NSMW2021, LACA is undertaking a virtual tour of the country during the week, and we are proud to have been chosen as their representative for the whole of London. This means that our school catering services and the talents of our school chefs will be showcased throughout this week by LACA to highlight the importance of healthy schools meals.
