Food for Life will be hosting a webinar session on 3 March 2022 at 4-5pm to announce the winner of the Peter Melchett Award and to say farewell to Jeanette Orrey who is retiring.

The Peter Melchett Award aims to celebrate a Food for Life school that has transformed the food young people eat.

The inaugural Peter Melchett Award was won by Blackawton Primary School in Totes at the 2020 Food for Life Conference. Melchett was one of the founding members of Food for Life and he played an important role in helping to ‘transform’ the food children consumed in schools.

Three schools have reached the final of the Peter Melchett Award, with one of them set to win the coveted trophy along with the £1,000 cash prize.

Last summer, Food for Life asked schools across the UK to demonstrate the amazing ways they use food to boost the curriculum, fire up assemblies, and energise school life. After much deliberation, the judging panel has selected one outstanding winner.

The webinar will also be an opportunity to say farewell to Food for Life co-founder and former school cook Jeanette Orrey who pioneered for better school meals.
