Behind the scenes with Chefs in Schools

Chefs in Schools are on a mission to improve child health and wellbeing by training school kitchen teams to serve up exciting food and education. They aim to lay the foundations for a life-long love of good food, and help ensure children have the fuel they need to achieve their potential.

At School 21 the Catering Team are led by Head Chef Educator Cedric Touchard. We took peak behind the scenes in the School 21 kitchen to see the team at work!
