This is Bath

A city headteacher has been presented with an award by food campaigner Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall for transforming school dinners.

Oldfield Park Infant School now serves school meals on plates, rather the plastic trays used by many other schools, and has a range of locally-sourced and organic items on the menu.

All chicken, bacon and sausages served are Freedom Food- certified or free range and no fish from unsustainable sources is served.

The school also has a cooking club, with pupils cooking and eating produce grown on the site.

It has now won the Food for Life Partnership Silver Award after achieving the biggest rise in school meals uptake in the Bath area.
