Food for Life

The Food for Life Partnership is a network of schools and communities across the county to transform food awareness in schools and communities throughout England. The partnership links together the Focus on Food Campaign, Garden Organic and the Health Education Trust who are able to share their practical expertise.

The Food for Life Partnership website states:

"Our mission is to reach out through schools to give communities access to seasonal, local and organic food and to provide the skills they need to cook and grow fresh food for themselves. We want a new generation to explore how their food choices impact on their health and that of the planet, and to rediscover the pleasure of taking time to enjoy real food."

Food for Life Flagship Schools
Three of Shropshire's primary schools are Flagship Schools for the Soil Association’s Food For Life Partnership.

- St Andrews, C E Primary School, Shifnal
- Longmeadow C E Primary School, Bayston Hill
- St Peter’s C E Primary School, Wem

The Flagship Schools act as an example of good food culture for their community other schools. It is hoped that all schools throughout England will have a Flagship School within easy reach, so they can see for themselves what can be achieved.
