Welcome to the Teacher Zone! Here you will find everything you need to bring British food alive in your school and get your pupils excited about the wonderful food we produce in this country.

Below you will find downloadable pdfs of our resource packs; contact details of organisations that can send a chef into your school to help you run cooking lessons; ideas on how to involve parents; and advice on how to gain publicity for your school's food activities.

You will also find information on taking part in British Food Fortnight - now an established date on the school calendar - and our annual School Challenge. Hundreds of schools use the event as an opportunity to teach young people about food and how to cook. Everything you need to plan and run your activities is on this page.

We hope that you enjoy putting the Ooo back into food in your school!
