school food in England
Unhealthy food is flooding our schools across England and it’s letting young people down.
Free school meals are expanding. Breakfast clubs are rolling out.
Hundreds of thousands more children will rely on food at school every single day.
But simply serving more food isn’t enough.
It has to be better food.
And right now?
The system is letting young people down.
Unhealthy food is flooding our schools
Healthy food in our schools should be a given, but why isn’t this happening? Young people across England are telling us the same thing: school food is beige, bland and boring. And overwhelmingly unhealthy.
- School food is unhealthy
- Meals are unappealing
- Young people are being shut out of the conversation
And while this is happening, no one is being held accountable.
This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity
The UK Government is reviewing the rules on school food right now.
This means we have a rare chance to fix what’s broken and make sure every child gets food that helps them learn, grow and thrive, not just survive.
But it will only happen if enough of us speak up, and back their voices.
We’ve made it simple to take action
The government’s consultation can be long and complicated. So we’ve done the hard work for you. We’ve turned it into a quick, easy survey - so you can have your say in just a few minutes. Every single response will be sent directly to the government team reviewing school food.
The more of us who speak up, the harder we are to ignore
This is our moment to push for change, to demand better food in our schools, and to protect the health of a generation.
Will you have your say?
Don’t lose this opportunity.
