Too many children are still missing out on good quality, nutritious school food. Now is the time for reform, to realise the full potential of the school food system.

In 2012, School Food Matters was proud to be invited to be part of the Expert Panel charged by the DfE to come up with the School Food Plan.

800,000 children living in poverty in England are not eligible for free school meals.

School Food Matters has been an active member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on School Food, chaired by Sharon Hodgson MP, since it started in 2010.

As part of the response to the Childhood Obesity Plan, the UK Government proposed a Healthy Schools Rating Scheme (HSRS), which would be used to evaluate how schools are supporting children to keep themselves healthy.
