Abstract

Summary For the past three years the British Nutrition Foundation has been developing a food and nutrition programme for use in schools. The aim is to provide a framework f o r teaching food and nutrition across the whole curriculum from age 5 to 16. The development of this programme to date has been made possible due to the financial support from The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF), The All Saints Education Trust and some BNF member companies. During the Spring of 1991 the resource materials for Key stage 1 (age 5–7 years) were trialled successfully in twenty-nine Local Education Authorities in England, Scotland and Wales. MAFF has provided further funding f o r the development and trial of Key stage 2 materials. The Foundation intends to develop and produce materials for Key stages 3 and 4 during the next three years and we believe that this programme will make a significant contribution to nutrition education in UK schools.
