The foundation of your approach

Use these building blocks to shape an approach that suits your school.

Good policy

Policy sounds boring, right? Not at all! It is a powerful signal: this is what you stand for. And it provides guidance.

Declaration of ambition

Since 1 September 2021, 897 schools have already signed the Declaration of Ambition. Sign it too and show what you stand for.

The healthy school canteen

Schools can work on their healthy school canteen using the Nutrition Centre’s checklist. The Nutrition Centre offers plenty of inspiration for every step.

Food education

By teaching about nutrition, schools reinforce the effects of a healthy school canteen. The Nutrition Centre offers materials for secondary and vocational education.

School meals

Do schools see pupils or students with empty stomachs? School meals can provide a solution.

Ask your question

Does a school have a question about its approach? The Nutrition Centre will soon open a consultation hour. Until then, you can send an email.
