Breakfast TV health editor Dr Hilary Jones recently visited two schools in Doncaster to encourage more children to drink milk in the classroom. He spoke at special assemblies at Bentley High Street Primary School and Balby Central Primary School about the health and educational benefits of drinking milk at school. Since 15th

Cordia installs five new catering outlets in schools
Cordia, Glasgow’s school catering provider, has opened five new catering outlets in its city schools – three external food huts and two cafés. The cafés have been set up at Springburn Academy and Cleveden Secondary School, and create a relaxed environment with sofas and dining bars with stools. The food huts are at All Saints, St Paul’s,
and St Thomas Aquinas secondary schools and all five new sites aim to offer healthier food alternatives that meet Scottish Government nutrition legislation, provide greater choice, and encourage pupils to stay on site during break times.
Julia McCreadie, head of facilities management at Cordia, said: “These initiatives are just a few of those launched
by Cordia to introduce a more flexible approach to school catering in the city, and to ensure the food provided in schools is nutritious as well as appealing to pupils.” All of Glasgow’s 30 secondary schools have introduced one or more new catering concepts following consultation with pupils. The changes have led to a 20% sales increase within some schools.
