practical cookery workshops, CAAS aims to change children’s lives for the better, educating them about the food they eat and in turn enabling them to make better food choices and lead healthier, more socially responsible lives. The project enables a network of over 200 Academy Chefs to adopt at least one school and deliver 2-3 annual sessions to children in their ‘adopted’ schools. The CAAS programme is structured around workshop sessions suitable for children from 7 to 11 and has been designed to integrate well with Key Stages 1 & 2 of the national schools curriculum. A slightly adapted programme is also delivered to a number of special needs schools, whose students enjoy the sessions enormously.
