Nov23New Training Centres for School Cooks

Eight new centres aimed at training school cooks in preparing healthy meals are scheduled to open across England by March next year. Areas such as Doncaster, Manchester, Lancashire and Worcester are set to benefit from the new facilities.
 
The School Food Trust said that Feast (Food Excellence and Skills Training) centres will provide cooks with the skills they need to ensure school meals are of the highest quality and that they meet nutritional standards.
 
Children’s minister Baroness Morgan, continued: “School cooks are too often the unsung heroes in our schools. We want to raise their status among fellow staff, pupils and parents, acknowledging the highly skilled jobs that they do.”
