Thank you sending your child for a school meal during NSMW25, you really helped make it a great success!
National School Meals Week (NSMW) is the one week of the year when we celebrate all that is GREAT about school food. Each year has a different theme based on relevant issues and fun events to get everyone enjoying school food. This year it is skills for life. Staying for a school lunch is more than just a meal on a plate, they provide social skills you can take forward after the week is over.
The date for NSMW26 will be announced in the coming weeks, please keep checking back and following the socialsÂ
Get involved in NSMW26 by:
- Sending your child for a school lunch during the week. It is a great way to introduce them to school meals if you haven’t tried them in a while
- During the week ask your child what has been going on in their school and share the stories, we always love to hear from you

Get involved all year round
School meals also contain more fresh, local food than ever before. Take a look at your school menu and you will usually find logos and accreditations about local and British produce. You can use this website all year round, you will find free resources, activities and recipe ideas which can help at meal times and help introduce your children to new tastes and flavours, visit the resource page here https://theschoolfoodpeoplensmw.co.uk/resources/ . Many of the resources are for school caterers use, but you see some have been designed for parents also.
