Food groups and portion sizes

A handy guide for your school caterers to make sure school meals are healthy and balanced.

This is a resource for school caterers; however, it could be very useful in a classroom context for KS2.

What's this for?

Give the downloadable leaflet to your school caterers. It includes information about:

• portion sizes and food groups
• top tips for increasing the iron, zinc and calcium content of the school menu
• standards for school food
• advice for preparing tasty menus

Try this!

Why not invite your school cooks to parents’ evenings to answer questions about their children’s eating habits?
