EB top ten: outstanding school catering

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.
