The DfES-led strand
of the FiS Programme

The DfES strand of the FiS Programme comprises eight curriculum focused projects which cover teacher training and professional development, as well as development of guidelines, resources and curriculum materials.

The DfES projects
In the DfES strand of the Food in Schools programme, primary and secondary schools are encouraged to look at all aspects of food during the school day through an 'audit' and to develop whole school food policies. Schools are also encouraged to set up local food partnerships, where secondary food specialists train and support their primary colleagues, helping them to work towards the National Healthy Schools Standard.
