Food For Life Partnership
The Hermitage School, in Chester-le-street, has been selected by the new Lottery-funded Food for Life Partnership to become one of 180 Flagship Schools and Communities across England that will be recognised as national leaders on food quality and food education.
Taking up the challenge laid down by Jamie Oliver’s school dinner’s campaign, the Food for Life Partnership has been funded by the National Lottery over five years from 2007 to help transform food culture in schools across the country.
Building on The Hermitage School’s achievements to date, the Food for Life Partnership will now help us to put more fresh, local & organic food on the menu and get our students – and interested parents and community groups – cooking and growing food and visiting local farms.
