EB top ten: outstanding school catering
5
Ballard School, Hampshire
Winner of the Education Business Award last year, Ballard School recognises the importance of ensuring that healthy eating is key to the school curriculum. Innovative chefs provide a vast and well prepared menu, with unhealthy foods, such as those that were fried or baked, disappearing from school plates. The school also implemented a ‘Healthy Eating Working Group’, ensuring the topic remains on the agenda. Ballard has also been awarded a Heathy Eating Award for introducing some innovative changes to menus and holds a 5-star hygiene rating.
