Provision Summary:

In summary, the School Nursing Service is a service for all children between the ages of 5 and 19 which aims to increase the health, well-being and safety of children and young people. This will be achieved by working in partnership with children and their families offering a range of interventions that include, parenting advice, advocacy and public health promotion.

The Public Health Outcomes Framework and NHS Outcomes Framework clearly define a range of outcome measures that are significant to the school-aged population.

School nursing teams lead and contribute to improving the outcomes for children and young people but are not solely responsible for achieving these and there needs to be a partnership approach. School nursing teams need to work with a number of partners including health and social care teams, teachers and youth workers to deliver the evidence based public health interventions as outlined in the Healthy Child Programme (5-19), and using the core principles of Making Every Contact Count for intelligent, opportunistic interventions.

We are a charity sharing the skills, knowledge and confidence to cook from scratch, helping anyone who provides food for children to do a great job and encouraging industry to help families make better food choices. We believe every child has a right to nutritious food and when children eat better, they do better. We do what we do because by getting children eating well today, we’re creating the healthier adults of tomorrow.

Joining the programme is a great way to show how you meet the welfare and nutrition requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage and Ofsted’s new Common Inspection Framework.

Delivering a great lunchtime experience for every child is no mean feat. Getting it right means thinking about the whole package - the kitchen, the dining space, the marketing, the catering contract … that’s where we come in. Whether you’ve got a specific school food issue you want to fix or you can’t put your finger on why things aren’t going well, we’re here to help you make your service work for the people who matter the most: your customers. Contact our schools team: .

  • Understanding the school food standards
  • School cooks train the trainer
  • Let’s Get Cooking demonstrator training course
  • Royal Society for Public Health accredited courses

We know it’s not always possible to get time out for face-to-face training. That’s why we also offer a full suite of online courses to help you improve children’s food (some of which are accredited by professional bodies) – so you can learn at a time and place that suits you. Our Learning Network also shares videos on topical issues and a forum to discuss ideas and experiences with colleagues around the country.
National school food standards were created to help schools to provide tasty, healthy food which gives children the best opportunity to learn and thrive. We’re here to help your school to meet the standards and deliver great food to the children in your care.
We offer practical tools and free resources to help make sure your school is meeting the standards.
Our menu checking service is a way for caterers to demonstrate that their menus meet the legal requirements of the school food standards, and that the food provided is offering children the nutrients and energy they need to do well.

Let’s Get Cooking with the Tesco Eat Happy Project gives schools the chance to be part of a vibrant and established network of clubs, teaching children essential cooking skills. There are places available for primary, junior/middle and special educational needs schools, as well as pupil referral units located in England. These cooking clubs would start in September 2016.
