Jamie Oliver calls on Ofsted to judge schools on food quality

Ofsted should judge schools on the quality of their school meals in much more detail, while all schools should be growing their own food.

These are among the recommendations in, Feed Me Even Better, the second school food manifesto to be released by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver.

The document, published last week, details an eight-point plan which Mr Oliver says will further improve school meals and food education.

Mr Oliver first became a figurehead for better and healthier school meals after his television series, Jamie's School Dinners, in 2005.

The 2005 campaign, which was entitled Feed Me Better, led to the then prime minister Tony Blair launching a £280 million drive to improve school food, the establishment of the School Food Trust – now operating as an independent charity – and the implementation of legally binding nutritional standards including a ban on junk food in schools.
