May 2010 A round up of the findings of the first nine Schools Food Panel reports.
The Schools Food Panel consists of head teachers in a representative sample of approximately 400 English schools (primary and secondary). Each term head teachers are sent a short questionnaire on current issues. The expectation is that 150 primary and 90 secondary head teachers will respond in each wave, and that a longitudinal view of the changing school food landscape can be developed over the next few years.
Aims
The aim of the Schools Food Panel surveys is to obtain the views of primary and secondary head teachers to help shape the SFT agenda for action, to complement knowledge gained from cooks, catering providers, Governors, and other agencies involved in the provision of school food, and to facilitate the work of the Trust in monitoring the success of their activities over time.
