Big Food in Schools: What’s Really Happening in Our Canteens?
It’s a no-brainer: school food should fuel young people, not fail them. But across England, our research shows canteens flooded with cheap, unhealthy options driven by profit, not nutrition. With weak oversight and no real accountability, students are left with food that doesn’t keep them full, focused or supported.
This is our chance to raise the standard and protect young people’s health.
The Bite Back in Schools programme is for students that helps them improve their school’s food environment. Through activities like assemblies and student-led clubs, participants learn about food inequalities and create projects to promote healthier choices. Along the way, they build confidence, leadership, and advocacy skills. The programme has already reached over 30,000 students across more than 200 schools.
