Gimme 5 School Meals Booklet

FOREWORD
CONTENTS...
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Here in Torfaen we have undergone a
revolution. New standards for school
meals have meant they have never before
been so nutritious and varied. Making the
food we provide in schools healthier has
only been half the battle. Young people
have to want to eat them and this has
been achieved with hard work and
enthusiasm by all the schools’ catering
teams across Torfaen.
We have been privileged to take part in a
two year action research project, Appetite
for Life. The main benefits of which have
been investment in new equipment and
extensive training for catering staff.

We hope this little booklet will highlight
to you the good work that has been
achieved and why school meals are a
good value, nutritious option at lunchtime.
I’m confident you will understand and
appreciate that our knowledge and
experience will assist your child with
making the healthy choice at lunchtime.
