Eating for Health

Scotland's school dinners are improving to provide children with the best possible start in life and help them develop healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime.

The improvements are taking place as part of the Hungry for Success initiative, launched by the Scottish Executive in 2002. In autumn 2005 the then First Minister Jack McConnell announced a further £70 million to support its implementation. Hungry for Success sets out minimum nutritional standards for improving school dinners in Scotland.

The Eating for Health pages outline the main points of Hungry for Success and what it means for schools, pupils and parents, as well as other ideas for improving food in schools.
