Certificate in Understanding and Adhering to the School Food Standards

The current School Food Standards were implemented in 2015, following a campaign from chef Jamie Oliver. The standards are part of the DfE’s School Food Plan, which was created to improve meals for pupils across the UK.

Developed by Ashleigh Simpson, registered Associate Nutritionist with the Association for Nutrition, this course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to gain a comprehensive understanding of the School Food Standards, what the nutrition requirements are for pupils, and how the Standards aim to meet these requirements.

Developed in line with the following policies:

• School Food Standards
• School Food Plan

Please note: This course consists of learning through video, task completion and further reading/research. Please consider this when planning and allocating your time. To successfully understand and achieve the objectives of the course, learners are expected to engage in all aspects of the learning process to ensure they can successfully apply the knowledge and skills they have gained in their own setting.
