Do you work in school catering and want to make your school’s menu healthier and more sustainable? The School Plates Awards are our way of recognising the positive steps you are taking to make your menus healthier for children and our planet. There is no cost to you to take part. It is simply our reward for your amazing efforts.

We have created a checklist of school food actions we advise you to take – most of which are evidence-based actions that are proven to help children to eat healthier and more sustainable meals. Depending on how many of these actions you have taken, you may be awarded with a Bronze, Silver or Gold Award in exchange for your great work.
