Ref: 2292
Research into the health and well-being of schoolchildren has shown that there are significant concerns about their current and future health, in particular the increase in obesity and related conditions. In the autumn term 2003 and the spring term 2004, Ofsted and the Food Standards Agency visited schools and nurseries, focusing on:
work with food that the children undertake
the promotion of good health and nutrition
factors that support or impede food and nutrition education
