INTRODUCING CHEFS IN SCHOOLS I Chefs in Schools was established in 2018, growing from the seed of one bold. forward thinking school, who knew that investing in school food would improve the health, wellbeing, behaviour and attainment of their pupils. And if that wasn't enough, when the food is cooked from scratch, sourced ethically and sustoinably, there are benefits to the environment too. Our model of delivering school food and food education rips up the rulebook that says it isn't possible to do better tor our school children. that budgets are too tight ond that school chefs aren't really 'chefs'. We know that isn't true. that school chefs are a vital workforce worth investing in, that in school food, and we're proving it in the 41 schools we work with - reoching more than 76.000 pupils. If you think the whole school meals thing was fixed ages ogo, think ogain. 60°A of secondary schools fail to meet the school food standards. We know, because we see it everyday, thot many primary schools ore falling short too. Change is needed. because more than ever. school food and tood education has a vital role to ploy. Our country is in the grip of a genuine food crisis, with malnutrition and diet-reloted disease so prevalent that one in three children in the poorest areas are leaving primary school obese. Meonwhile, more thon 1.5rn children miss out on the vital nutrition of a daily free school meal because unfoir eligibility thresholds exclude them. We can't solve these problems with improved school meals and food education alone. but we do have a vital opportunity to provide immediate nutrition. food thot fuels learning ond guides lifelong eating habits. Our goal is to ensure that every school in the country is delivering tasty, nutritious. inexpensive. generation-powerin9 food ond tood education. In schools, we do this by working directly with them to help them implement our transformative philosophy. training up the school chefs who play such a crucial role in the relotionship children develop with food. Outside of schools. we lobby for change,. compoigning, advising and collaborating with industry and other NGO&
E-XECUTIVE. UPDATE Our second birthday as a charity coincided with the start of the pandemic, which exposed the cruel realities of social inequolity, hunger, malnutrition and diet-related disease. It also reiterated to us how vitally important school food is - for some children it will be the only hot meal they eat each day. The schools we work with have as many as 70/0 of pupils entitled to free school meals - when schools closed, they were at risk of going hungry. We reinvented ourselves as a food crisis response operation. Our networks of schools, suppliers and supporters enabled us to swiftly establish production hubs that delivered more than 600,000 meals to those families at home. We went into September 2020 with a renewed belief - equipping the next generation with the skills and enthusiasm to feed themselves well had never been more relevant. important or as high in the public consciousness. When schools re-opened, we were uble to focus again on our core mission of ensuring every child has equal opportunity to learn about and enjoy real food in schools. Too often this is still a postcode lottery, with processed & beige school meals in one school, while next door the food is freshly cooked and vibrant. And in all areas, too many children are missing out on a hot lunch due to a threshold for free school meal eligibility that does not reflect the true number of children living in food insecurity. Our overriding aim going into the year was twofold: Continue to demonstrate that better is possible through our frontline work with schools. To share that possibility by creating meaningful resources that will help other schools to follow their lead.
With this in mind. we invested in our team. creating o new training department which is busy developing a bespoke qualification aimed specifically at school chefs, funded by Impact on Urbon Health. We were also delighted to be awarded the Clarion Prize in 2021, enabling us to start work on a digital toolkiL to help others replicate the food education work delivered at the Hackney School of Food. Alongside this we continued to work, boots on the ground, in schools. Our chef trainers worked with another12 schools, bringing the total up to 41. This means 4500 more pupils able to choose vibrant, exciting and nutritious meals. Our covid hamper programme continued. with more than 12.000 hampers distributed to families across London - including nearly 3,000 Christmas hampers with treats and gifts for the festive period. We also continued to work collaboratively with partners across the sector. At the 2021 Third Sector Awards we were jointly awarded the Big Impact and Charity Partnership of the Year awords. These owards recognised our food poverty support work in partnership with School Food Matters and Impact on Urban Health. Also recognised was our advocacy behind the scenes of the End Child Food Poverty coalition (headed up by Marcus Rashford) to secure vital food support for children during the most intensive phase of the pandemic. Our sincere thanks goes to our funders, partners, supporters and volunteers. Most of all to our co-founders, our incredible team, patrons and trustees who made this all possible in another uniquely challenging year. We lateral flowed, forgot we were on mute, had our pets make impromptu appearances at every crucial juncture of meetings and. most importantly. kept each other sane in the most challenging times of the year. We go into 2021-22 with a team of nine. a stable financial platform and a renewed vigour for our mission. We know it's possible for every child in the country to get a full education about food, from great food in the dining room to meaningful lessons in the classroom. And we won't stop until that is exactly what they have.

OUR APPROACH Our philosophy is simple. We treat food education and school food as interlinked, vital opportunities thot shape better eating habits for life. Research by the McKinsey Institute identified eighteen proposed interventions to tackle the western obesity crisis. A third of these were in schools. Our aim is to change the food culture within a school; we want food to be at the heart of o school. part of the daily language and something that brings people together. Empowering school chefs to serve great food is key to success. We train them to run their kitchens with a passion for food and the skill of top restaurants and restaurant chefs. We help schools to integrate food into their culture. We also campaign to showcase that better is possible and that serving nutritious food in schools is a priority. To see long-term change, we need school chefs who are passionote about food, but we also need schools who value their kitchen teams and invest in their development and training - just os they would for teaching staff. How we work to achieve change: We continuously innovate ond hone'what Works Well. in school food and food education. We work directly 'School by School. implementing our philosophy and transforming the standards of food and food education offered. We showcase that Better is Possible to raise the profile of school food, developing resources and training to help all schools improve.

SCHOOL BY SCHOOL Core to our approach is the belief that you have to inspire change from the ground up - you can't improve food and food education through legislation alone. We set out in 2018 with a goal to work directly with 100 schools over the course of 5 years, to set these up as examples of what it is possible to achieve. Over the last 12 months, we've worked with another12 schools, bringing the total to date to 41 schools. reaching 16,000 pupils across London. We also secured our first schools outside of London, which will start in September 2021. In Spring 2021 we conducted our first annual impact survey of school chefs and headteachers. Headteachers in schools we worked with reported that: 90Yo are satisfied or very satisfied with food quality (23Y. before they started with us). 75/0 are satisfied or very satisfied with meal rice (vs 44°A). 90/0 are happy with the healthiness of food vs 24/). 90Yo reported an increase in fruit and vegetable intake. A huge thank you for helping the school improve the food offer at school in every area and continuing to support it in its journey. l also want to mention the passion ond innovation during lockdown with food hompers and the fight to end child food poverty and how it has helped so many Of Ih"e- sLliuul's fiiiiiilies, Headtcacher 12
Chefs in Schools are passionate about what they do and so are we, so the partnership just felt right from the beginning. Yes there wgie Sume risks but that,: how we progress and it's exciting learning together and having autonomy about what and when we feed our students and how we deliver food education so that it's meaningful to all of our young people. Headteocher Our school by school programme involves working very closely with schools to help them put food bock ot the centre of a child's education. We help them to recruit and train chefs to run their kitchens, implement systems to manage their new food programmes, and reintroduce meaningful food education. Our survey of school chefs we've placed or trained found that IOO/¢J would recommend working in a school kitchen. 96/0 were satisfied or very satisfied in their jobs. 92/0 experienced o shift in food culture. 96 / felt the job they signed up to met their expectations. Chefs are fuelled by the mission (and the sustainable working patterns). 13
LllL- LUNCHES CHEFS IN, SCHOOLS P BETtER IS POSSIBLE The third strand of our work seeks to use the learnings from our experience on the ground in schools, to bring about change necessary to ensure every child in the country gets a good education about food - both in the dining room and the classroom. Our work in 2020-21 included: Running a series of best practices webinars, attended by IO0+ caterers, school leaders and local authorities covering: Tackling stigma and improving quality of free school meals. Food education, life skills for a future generation. Sustoinable school kitchens. Contributing to working groups on school food ond public sector procurement for the National Food Strategy. Feeding into the UN Food Systems summit via Omved Gardens. Contributing to the global Policies Against Hunger summit strands relating to school feeding programmes. We also continued development of our School Chef Educator training programme. Delayed by the pandemic. the pilot will begin in September 2021 with the first cohort of 40 learners. Our goal with this programme is for every school in the country to have a professionally qualified school chef by 2030.

RESPONDING TO THE PANDEMIC In 2020, when the pandemic first took hold in the UK, we immediately took oction. Our work in schools is focused in areas with high levels of socioeconomic deprivation, therefore we see first-hand every day the reliance that some children have on a good quality free meal in schools. We established on emergency food hamper relief programme and were original members of the campaigning group that went on to become the End Child Food Poverty coalition - headed up by the Food Foundation. In 2020-21. with the pandemic still causing significant disruption to the country and food insecurity rising we continued our involvement in both of these initiatives, alongside reinstating the remainder of our programmes. Over the course of the pandemic. Chefs in Schools has distributed more than 600,000 meals to families across London. Our work: Targeted families who were at risl those missing out on government support programmes, or for whom those programmes were insufficient. Prioritised nutrition, our hampers were created with the idea of supporting families access to fresh fruit and vegetables. Put dignity first, by ensuring our food products were high quality and responding to feedback from families. We continued that work throughout the last twelve months in close collaborotion with key funders including UBS Bank and Impact on Urban Health. and delivery partners School Food Matters. Our work has seen us winning two Third Sector Awards, in the'Big Impoct. ond 'Charity Partnership, categories, and finalists for a Lord Mayor's Dragon Award for Innovation During Covid-lg. Our campaigning work continues to make sure no child misses out on the vital nutrition, education and fuel of a quality school meal.
